Arrest warrants issued for three suspects in murder of Joshua Brown, who Dallas cops say was killed

Source: New York Daily News

Arrest warrants for capital murder have been issued for three suspects in connection with the fatal shooting of Joshua Brown, who testified in the Amber Guyger murder trial but was killed in a botched drug transaction, according to authorities.

Dallas cops said during a press conference on Tuesday that the three assailants traveled from Louisiana to buy drugs from Brown. A “physical altercation” ensued Friday, according to cops.

Brown shot suspect Jacquerious Mitchell in the chest before he was shot twice and killed by Mitchell’s accomplice Thaddeous Green, according to authorities.

Green and the third suspect Michael Mitchell remain at large, but Jacquerious Mitchell is in police custody at a Dallas-area hospital.

During a press conference Tuesday, Dallas cops said the three assailants traveled from Louisiana to buy drugs from Joshua Brown, 28, but the Friday transaction quickly went awry when Brown shot suspect Jacquerious Mitchell, 20, in the chest, and was then himself shot twice and killed by Mitchell’s accomplice, Thaddeous Green, 22.

Green and a third suspect, Michael Mitchell, 32, remain at large. Jacquerious Mitchell is in police custody at a Dallas hospital, where cops said he was in critical condition. Arrest warrants for capital murder have been issued for all three, police said.


How does your example of DPD corruption relate at all to this case?

I personally don't think there is a conspiracy. I don't think his testimony mattered in the criminal trial, and I don't think it will matter in the civil trial.

Amber Guyger was her own worst witness in the trial. In spite of the sandbagging going on for her, the jury came to the correct verdict (at least in my opinion).

character without ever having to think of them as an individual person.

You can tell by their bank balance, their major, their uniform or profession, the color of their skin, their accent, what country they or their ancestors came from, who their brother or cousin is. It makes judgement really, really easy--no thinking required at all. "Look at his clothes, he must be a good, high-character person. And that person over there, look at his clothes, he's obviously poor and lazy."

(Actually, that cuts both ways. Just the dead TX officer was a Sikh, but that doesn't mean "he was a good person" any more than the fact that another cop's being black or Xian means *he* was a good person. But the Sikh had good character references, both before and after death, so it goes beyond something that "wearable".)

If cops are monsters, finr. We don't need to regret their passing as it is merely one less monster in the world nor should we grieve for the family as a monster is out of their lives.

Now if not all are monsters it would be very helpful to know how to tell the difference. Am I dealing with a monster or a good person who happens to be a cop? Or am I stuck dealing with cops like everybody else, individuals who I must observe and let their actions show the nature of their character?

So the rest of the world is suppose to ignore that, because now this individual is himself deceased? I think I will be saving most of my sympathies (and credulousness) for victims that are not also out killing other people.

He said Jaquarious Mitchell told investigators that he was lying inside the car when he heard two more gunshots.

"He says Thaddeous Green shot Joshua Brown two times," Moore said.

Moore said an autopsy performed on Brown showed that he suffered two bullet wounds to his lower extremities, including one that entered and exited his body and another that entered his body just below the spine, traveled up and damaged vital organs. https://abcnews.go.com/US/arrest-warrants-issued-suspects-killing-witness-amber-guyger/story?id=66140197

But, no, let's never mind the fact that Both Jean's family attorney said that Brown was afraid that someone was out to get him, and it wasn't the cops.

To believe he was murdered by the DPD so soon after the trial. Someone doing this would know the finger would be pointed straight at the DPD.

Guyger had already admitted she killed Jean, it was only a question of her punishment and sentence. So IMO his testimony had little impact.

If he had been killed BEFORE he testified, then that would most assuredly been suspicious.

and police department. Now that he's dead, apparently they can't use his sworn testimony in criminal court as evidence.

Yes, I said it.

Brown was selling dope. Fact.

He shot another dope dealer. Fact.

The dope dealer's buddy (relative?) shot and killed Brown.

When the other two perps get busted, the case will be closed.

No "Dem cops iz ALL corrupt and kilt Brown!" bullshit.

Cops can be corrupt, even murderous.
(Just ask a buddy of mine who used to live in Baltimore)

But there is ZERO evidence the cops killed Brown, period.
