Myeisha Brown Death

A death investigation is underway after a female inmate who pleaded guilty to the murder of a 74-year-old South Nashville man died in prison.

According to the Tennessee Department of Correction, 21-year-old Myeisha Brown was found dead in her cell Saturday at the Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center, formerly the Tennessee Prison for Women.

Brown shot and killed Ruxin Wang, a 74-year-old man who was shot while collecting trash outside of his South Nashville home on Claiborne Street in November of 2017

In January of 2018, Metro police charged Brown, who was 16 at the time, with criminal homicide for the shooting death of Ruxin Wang. 

Shortly, after her arrest, Brown posted bond after funds raised through a crowdfunding website advocated for her release. However, in 2019 the teen was arrested again on new charges and placed on house arrest for theft of a vehicle and drug offense charges.

Investigators said Wang was taking care of his wife when he was shot multiple times while taking out the trash. Yongling Zhai and Ruxin were married nearly 50 years.

Yun Wang has fond memories with his father. He never missed a court date and remembers the first time he came face to face with his father’s killer.

“There is no remorse. There is no regret. There’s no sadness,” Wang said.

Brown was serving a 15-year sentence and was 16 at the time of the killing. No additional information was immediately released.

Myeisha Brown News

The Tennessee Department of Corrections is investigating the death of an inmate who pleaded guilty to murdering a man in November 2017.

21-year-old Myeisha Brown was found dead in her cell at the Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center, formerly the Tennessee Prison for Women.

Brown was charged with criminal homicide in the shooting death of 74-year-old Ruxin Wang on November 9, 2017. Wang was shot to death while he was bringing the trash cans in from the street, outside his son’s home on Claiborne Street.

Brown was 16 at the time of the murder and was indicted as an adult on felony premeditated first-degree murder in November 2018. At her hearing, witnesses said they were with Brown at the time of the shooting and saw her lift the gun but did not see her pull the trigger.

A GoFundMe campaign was started for Brown’s bail while she awaited trial and raised enough money to bail her out of jail on February 1, 2019.

Brown pleaded guilty to the murder to avoid trial and was serving a 15-year sentence when she was found dead this weekend.
