Brown’s girlfriend, Leeanne Group, their child, and Group’s other five young children were all in a vehicle in the store’s parking lot. Brown was walking back to the car when he was shot and killed in front of the vehicle. Group and the children – all under 10 years old – witnessed the shooting, according to the criminal complaint.
Sadler was charged with criminal homicide, seven counts of recklessly endangering another person, former convict not to possess a firearm and firearm not to be carried without a license.
