Additional details have been released following a fatal stabbing early Monday morning at the Jackson Green Apartments complex on Justin Way off County Line Road, where a woman was found dead and a male suspect was taken into custody without incident.

Ocean County Prosecutor Brad Billhimer announced that Louis Brown, 18, of Jackson Township, has been charged with Murder, Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose, and Unlawful Possession of a Weapon in connection with the death of his grandmother, Darlene Brown, 69, also of Jackson Township.

According to authorities, officers from the Jackson Township Police Department responded to the residence at approximately 7:00 a.m. on May 18 after receiving a 911 call reporting that someone had been murdered.

Responding officers found Louis Brown standing in the front doorway of the home. Police said Brown exited the residence with his hands raised and was immediately taken into custody while officers investigated.

Upon entering the residence, officers discovered Darlene Brown deceased in an upstairs bedroom with apparent stab wounds to her face and neck. Investigators also observed two knives protruding from the victim, authorities said.

A joint investigation conducted by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Jackson Township Police Department Detective Bureau, and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit determined that Louis Brown was the individual who placed the 911 call and was responsible for his grandmother’s death, according to prosecutors.

Brown was transported to the Ocean County Jail, where he remains lodged pending a detention hearing.
