NBC Chicago's Chris Hush and Peggy Kusinski wrote that Brown had overcome tragedy before stepping in the ring for his first fight in December 2012. His mother died during a stampede at a Chicago nightclub in 2003, and his father began serving a prison sentence roughly a year later. He was also the victim in two separate shootings in 2012 and 2013.
Chicago police have yet to arrest a suspect or determine a motive for Saturday's shooting.
