Replay live coverage: Brandon Brown murder trial

Testimony will resume Friday in the first-degree murder trial of Brandon Brown.

Brown, 28, is on trial this week for the murder of a Iowa City High School graduate, Donnelle Lindsey. Brown is accused of gunning down Lindsey, 30, of Iowa City, on June 21, 2012.

According to witnesses and police, Brown asked Lindsey to walk down the street with him at 11:26 p.m. that night and an argument ensued. Police said Brown pulled a handgun and shot Lindsey multiple times at close range. Paramedics were called to 2437 Petsel Place and Lindsey was taken to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, where he was pronounced dead.

Brown fled the area, but was arrested two months later on Aug. 21 at a home belonging to one of his friends in South Holland, Ill. Police tracked him there after receiving a tip Brown was in the area.

If convicted of first-degree murder, Brown faces a mandatory life sentence. The trial is scheduled for nine days.
