Former NFL player Sergio Brown is now in custody as authorities investigate the tragic death of his mother, Myrtle Brown, whose lifeless body was discovered last month near her suburban Chicago residence. A law enforcement source disclosed that Sergio, who had traveled to Mexico, was deported on Tuesday by US law enforcement officers near San Diego based on an arrest warrant issued in Illinois.
Mexican law enforcement had been aware of Sergio Brown's whereabouts since at least September 19, and he was deported after Illinois authorities secured an arrest warrant related to his mother's death. Police in San Diego are working to transfer Brown from Southern California to the Chicago area for further investigation.
The Maywood Police Department revealed that 73-year-old Myrtle Brown's body was found near a creek behind her Maywood home on September 16. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office determined that her death resulted from injuries related to an assault, classifying it as a homicide.
Simultaneously, Sergio Brown's brother, Nick Brown, took to social media seeking help in locating his missing brother. In an Instagram post, Nick expressed love for Sergio and pleaded for his safe return, emphasizing the family's unity during this challenging time.
In light of recent developments, Myrtle Brown’s family, represented by attorney Christian Conway, issued a statement urging authorities, particularly the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, to expedite the investigation, citing sufficient evidence for an arrest.
Expressing concern for Sergio's well-being, the family stated they had not been in touch with him since his disappearance and called for his immediate and safe return to the United States.
Despite the family tragedy and ongoing police investigation, Sergio was spotted living it up in Mexico at a Tulum beach club, dancing shirtless with scantily clad women.
In one social media video, Brown said he thought his mom had gone on vacation.
In the clip where he tagged ESPN, Brown says: 'Fake news. It has to be the FBI. They came into my house...unwarranted. 'They kidnapped me twice from home, the Maywood Police Department. It had to be the FBI or the Maywood Police. I thought my momma was on vacation.'
He continued, 'That's f***ing fake news. Get the f*** out my god damn face. FBI had to do it, they got the power to do some s**t . What the f**k is going on, that is fake news. Don't come f***ing with me.'
He had been living with his mother at the time of her death and was last seen with his mom on August 25 as they left their home for a family reunion in Mississippi, but they never made it.
Sergio Brown, 35, a former defensive back for Notre Dame and a player for multiple NFL teams, played seven seasons in the league.
San Diego Central Jail records show Brown was booked into the jail and is being held without bail as a fugitive from justice.
