University Park PD detectives found evidence that may link Brown to other robberies outside Dallas and additional charges may follow, according to WFAA.

This incident is one of two reported aggravated robberies on SMU’s campus this week. SMU PD has increased car and bike patrols as a result to strengthen campus security.

This case is currently being investigated by University Park PD. Anyone with information about Brown or this matter is asked to contact University Park PD at 214-987-5356 or online at https://www.uptexas.org/Government/Police/Police-Reports.
