Atlanta police said they were called to the scene on January 17th at 4:35 a.m. They found Javon Brown dead in his doorway. There were no signs that he had been physically hurt.

Police said that it looks like some people were trying to break into Brown’s car. Brown confronted them, and one or more of the suspects fired a gun at him, but he wasn’t hit.

Police believe Brown died because the incident caused a medical problem, likely the heart attack his wife described.

Tasha Brown said that she and her husband were asleep when his car alarm went off around 4:30 a.m. They heard scraping noises and looked out the window to see someone trying to break into his truck.

Tasha said Javon grabbed his gun and went outside to try and scare the people away.

Neighbors told the news station that they heard several gunshots. Tasha said her husband wasn’t hit by any bullets and that the suspects ran away.

“He was able to speak,” Tasha told the news. “He was not hit. But then he went into cardiac arrest over the shock. He dropped down. I did CPR. I called 911 until I couldn’t feel my arms and hands, but it wasn’t enough.”

Police haven’t said if they’ve found the suspects yet.
