Marine deserter indicted on murder charges for allegedly killing mother's boyfriend

A Franklin County Grand Jury in Virginia recently indicted a Camp Lejeune Marine, who deserted his unit in October 2019, for killing his mother's boyfriend.
Cpl. Michael Alexander Brown, 22, of Roanoke, Virginia was indicted for killing Rodney Brown on Nov. 9. He was later found in the attic of the home where the murder took place on Nov. 27 after an 18 day nationwide man hunt.
Brown had been on the run since being charged with second degree murder as well as use of a firearm in commission of a felony in connection, after the Marine's mother told investigators she witnessed the crime and named her son as the suspect, as previously reported by The Daily News.
