Newton County Sheriff's Office investigators still have no leads in the mysterious shooting that occurred on the Fourth of July. Ricky Brown, 30, was shot twice last Wednesday in an apparent act of random violence. He reportedly told Deputy Kevin Roper he did not know the man who shot him and the unknown assailant never asked for money.
