Why was UB Lecturer Murdered?

Anthony Brown Jr.

Fifty-seven-year-old Anthony Edward Brown was found murdered inside his home in Eldridgeville, Toledo on Monday.  He was stabbed to death the day prior. Investigators have so far uncovered that Brown was at home, near the outskirts of town, when he was attacked by two men who bound his feet and hands before stabbing him multiple times to the chest and neck.  The U.B. lecturer lived alone and tonight police are putting the pieces of puzzle together to establish a motive and make an arrest.
