Jason Derek Brown’s father passed away from cancer.
Jason Derek Brown, who is on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list for allegedly murdering an armored car guard in Arizona in 2004, experienced a personal tragedy when his father succumbed to cancer. The exact date of his father’s death is not widely publicized, but this event is separate from Jason’s criminal activities and subsequent fugitive status. The loss of a parent can be a significant emotional event in anyone’s life, but there is no public information suggesting that this incident had any direct connection to Jason Derek Brown’s decision to commit the crime for which he is wanted. Brown has been on the run since the murder, and despite various sightings and the issuance of an international red notice, he remains at large. The FBI continues to seek information leading to his capture.
