JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Family and friends of Cassandra Brown, who was shot and killed outside of a home on June 13, said their final goodbyes to the mother, grandmother, sister and friend on Saturday.

“Cassandra we gonna miss you,” Brown’s cousin said. “We love you.”

“This is one of the hardest days of my life,” said Calvin Brown, Cassandra’s son.

“She was feisty, she spoke her mind and she didn’t care whose feelings she hurt,” Cassandra’s younger brother said. “She didn’t care about what you had to say, but one thing I can say about her — she had love in her heart.”

“There’s a gold ship, there’s a silver ship but there’s no ship like Cassandra’s friendship,” said Cassandra’s friend of 40 years. “It is so sad to know she’s gone because the Lord has called her home.”

The 66-year-old was shot and killed nearly two weeks ago on Grothe Street. Brown’s family believes she was targeted for testifying in a trial last year. 

In their time of bereavement, Brown’s family is leaning heavily on their faith.

“There’s a lot of hurt, a lot of anger about the situation,” Calvin said. “Please no one take this matter into your own hands.”

As they keep Brown’s legacy alive, one final time, they shower Cassandra with the same love she showed everyone else.

“You’re here because you love her,” Rev. Roscoe McKinney II said.

“Whatever you was going through, whatever was in her voice shifted and caused you to have a good time in spite of what you were going through,” Bishop Dejuan Bell Sr. said.

“No one will ever be able to shut me up about my momma. I cried for her then, and I’m going to keep crying,” Calvin added.  

Still, no arrests have been made.

Authorities are asking anyone with more information about Cassandra death to contact the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office at 904-630-0500 or First Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-tips.
