When Brown was found and taken to the homicide division of the Memphis police force, she allegedly told officers that the shooting was the consequence of their unsuccessful attempt to rob a heroin dealer jointly.
According to reports, she informed police that she had permitted her boyfriend to use her Facebook profile to entice the drug dealer to the location for an “honest drug sale,” whereupon, in accordance with their plan, he would rob the dealer at gunpoint.
According to Brown, her boyfriend prepared for the robbery attempt by arming himself with two firearms, according to WMC.
As scheduled, the two parties met there. Brown, however, claimed to the police that someone in the dealer’s vehicle fired several shots at her boyfriend when he drew out his revolver.
Brown admitted to picking up her boyfriend’s two firearms after he was shot and running away from the scene before police arrived, according to the police.
Brown is accused of aggravated robbery, reckless homicide, and tampering with or manipulating evidence. She is expected to appear in court on Tuesday and is being held on $85,000 bail.
