Robert Brown murdered by girlfriend’s brother
The bank did not lose cash, but a family is tonight mourning the loss of one of its members. On Friday night, twenty-eight Robert Brown came home from work and shortly after, he jumped back on his bike to go hang out with friends; it was the last time his family would see him alive. According to police reports, at around twelve-twenty-five Saturday morning Brown was walking with his girlfriend Nekia Anderson on Raccoon Street when they got into an argument. Anderson left in a huff and shortly after her brother, Wyatt Anderson, came after Brown. The two got into a fight and Anderson stabbed Brown to the left side of his chest with a knife. Brown was rushed to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital but died around one-forty that same morning. Brown’s mother Lizbeth Pitterson says she got the news when her son was already in the morgue.
