Joshua Brown was the neighbor of Botham Jean and the key witness in the case of a police officer who killed him in his own apartment.

Just days after her conviction, he is mysteriously murdered. As he feared he would be.

Nothing will bring back Botham Jean.

But today there was accountability for his killer.

Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Philando Castile, Eric Garner—their families and so many others never got to see any justice at all.
