Myrtle Brown’s death was declared a homicide.
Police in suburban Chicago are searching for former NFL player Sergio Brown after his mother’s body was discovered following a call from family who reported them missing this weekend.
Family members contacted the Maywood Police Department on Saturday after they said they were unable to locate Brown, 35, or his mother, Myrtle Brown, 73, the department said.
Investigators conducted two searches and eventually found Myrtle Brown’s body near a creek adjacent to her residence in Maywood, Illinois, later that day, police allege.
