Milwaukee man facing charges 2 years after fatal shooting of Brown Deer brothers
BROWN DEER, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A 20-year-old Milwaukee man has been charged in connection with a double homicide that occurred in 2022.
Officers responded to a home near 62nd and Goodrich Lane in Brown Deer on Sept. 1, 2022, after a caller reported that she found her son, Amarion Brown, unresponsive with a gunshot wound.
According to a criminal complaint, the caller indicated that she lived in the home with her children, including Amarion Brown and Charlus Robinson Jr. She said the previous night, Amarion had a friend over at the house, whose name is "Joe."
The woman went on to say she thought she'd heard a "pop" around 5-6 a.m. but wasn't sure where it came from and went back to sleep. She said when she woke up, Joe -- later identified as Joseph Tucker -- was gone. She said her daughter later went to wake Amarion up and found that he had been shot.
Prosecutors say another individual in the home reported waking up to the sound of the back door opening and a loud revving noise around 4-5 a.m. He observed that the woman's Jeep was missing, however, the complaint says he assumed either Amarion or Charlus was using it.
After obtaining a search warrant for the property, officers discovered the body of Charlus Robinson in the driver's seat of a vehicle parked in the driveway. An autopsy revealed Charlus died from two gunshot wounds to the head.
The complaint goes on to say phone records and other internet/network records show Tucker and another individual -- identified by authorities as Tamirat Mills -- was at the scene of the homicides around the time they occurred. Surveillance reportedly shows both men were involved in taking the woman's Jeep without consent before later abandoning it.
Tucker was sentenced in July of 2023 to life in prison for his involvement in the case.
Mills was charged Jan. 13, 2025 with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide and operating a motor vehicle without owner's consent.
Mills is due in court for an initial court appearance Jan. 14.
