Authorities said at the time that Brown was arrested on I-69, about 108 miles northwest of Detroit, after an ex-girlfriend reported that he had been violating a personal protection order by banging on her door and sending disturbing texts. She was not among the victims.
During his plea hearing, Brown said he killed Brock and Mooney with a hammer.
