On October 18, 1986, at approximately 6:34 AM, members of Cleveland Heights Police Department received an assignment to respond to the intersection of Reyburn and Westburn Roads. On arrival, the body of a black female was located in the street, opposite 2149 Reyburn Rd. Further investigation revealed the unidentified black female was apparently pushed from a westbound automobile and had been shot at another location.
She may have been known as "Tanya Greene." She was involved in drug trafficking and was killed by her employer, Robert Brown, when she became a "liability." Brown was also linked to over 20 murders in Florida and at least one other in Ohio.
