Federal and local law enforcement were back on the scene in Franklin County Tuesday where Brown’s mom’s boyfriend was murdered on Nov. 9. U.S. Marshal Sellers said new tips brought them back to search the property again. The Virginia State Police tactical team went onto the property in an armored vehicle, and a drone was seen flying overhead.
22-year-old Brown has been on the run for more than 10 days.
The U.S. Marshals say they’ve received about 250 tips and leads so far.
The intense manhunt is still underway.
Authorities advise the public to remain vigilant. They urge citizens to lock their homes and cars. Brown is considered armed and dangerous, according to the U.S. Marshals.
There is a $10,000 reward in place.
