Mother Seeks Justice for Daughter's Murder After 10 Years

Tiané Brown, a dedicated mother of three and a full-time law student at Wayne State University, had aspirations of becoming a patent lawyer. Tragically, her life was cut short on October 28, 2013, when she went missing after taking an exam. Two days later, her body was discovered in her vehicle, having suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Her mother, Sheryl Jones, described the experience as a relentless nightmare, emphasizing the profound loss of her only daughter. In the wake of this tragedy, Sheryl Jones has made it her mission to honor Tiané's memory. She maintains a collection of her daughter's photographs throughout her West Bloomfield home and actively engages with the Detroit Police Department regarding the ongoing investigation into her death. Jones expressed the emotional toll of her loss, stating, "It will always hurt," and highlighted the importance of her daughter in her life. The Detroit Police Department has implemented a new plan to keep victims' families informed about the status of ongoing cases. According to DPD Captain Mccord, families will receive updates every six months, rather than weekly, to avoid unnecessary emotional distress when no new information is available. Despite these efforts, Jones has voiced her concerns about the level of interest and urgency in the investigation, revealing her ongoing heartache and desire for justice for her daughter.
