Listen:
Brown, is accused of shooting 69-year-old Mona Sloop to death in the driveway of her residence on Shady Grove Road, about 10 miles southeast of Marshall July 22. Sloop was shot one time in the back.
According to the probable cause affidavit from the Searcy County Sheriff’s Office, Brown and an acquaintance drove from Florida to Sloop’s Searcy County on July 20 according to the acquaintance who was interviewed this week in Florida.
After talking Brown talked to his sister for a short time, Sloop turned and walked away. Brown at that point retrieved a gun from his vehicle and shot Sloop in the back. After shooting his sister, Brown went and checked on Sloop, and then got back in his vehicle and left. The acquaintance told investigators he did not get out of the vehicle. Brown and the acquaintance then drove back to Florida, stopping only for gas and to rest.
Sloop’s body wasn’t found until two days later. Due to decomposition, her body was sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab to confirm her cause of death. It was determined she did die from the single gunshot to the back.
Brown is facing a felony charge of capital murder. He is being held in the Volusia County Jail in Florida awaiting extradition back to Arkansas.
Sheriff Cassell says the investigation is ongoing and additional arrests are possible. The name of the acquaintance has not been released.
