Set Up?? They Went Outside And Their Opps Was Sitting In The Front Waiting For Them

A doorbell camera captured the final moments in the life of a Cordova woman’s son.

Now, his mother is releasing the footage in hopes of generating new leads in the case. 

Nicka Brown said her 21-year-old son Darrion Brown died after a shooting at a rental property party on North Michelle Circle February 1.

“When I arrived on scene, the tape is already up, everybody who is at the party was no longer there, and the car was riddled with so many bullets… so many bullets,” the grieving mother said. “It was so many bullets in that car.”

Brown said she has been holding onto the doorbell camera footage, but after 54 days with no arrest in the case, she’s releasing it now. She said she believes she doesn’t know how to penetrate the wall of silence that’s been in place with her son’s circle of friends who were at the party, but she believes her son would speak up if one of those same friends had been murdered.

“Say something! Darrion had a good heart. If it was one of y’all, he would be saying something!“ said Brown.

Brown added that she believes the mindset leading to the loss of so many young lives in Memphis and across the country is linked to video gameplay, and that real life is final with no do-overs.

“This is not GTA [Grand Theft Auto]. When you kill somebody, they are not coming back. This is not a game. You don’t get… you’re not Mario, you don’t get multiple lives. This is real. Losing a child is one of the worst pains a parent can go through,” Brown said.
