A man who was shot to death on Thursday as under cover officers tried to serve a warrant on him in Greensboro, North Carolina was a former bodyguard for LL Cool J, authorities said. Garfield Brown, 30, was a prime suspect in the murder of 27 year old Kelvin Parks, from Omaha, Nebraska, who was found dead last year in New Haven, Connecticut. The police would not elaborate on the shooting of Brown, saying only that "resistance was encountered." Parks allegedly met Brown in a movie theater and later in the evening, Brown allegedly lured him into a dark lot and robbed him. "Parks was found lying in a parking lot with a gunshot wound to the abdomen," New Haven police Sgt. Christopher Mahon said. Brown had a previous conviction for manslaughter and had served time in Florida, North Carolina and California. He was also wanted in connection with a murder in New York. Brown was profiled last month on America’s Most Wanted. Authorities are still investigating why Brown was in North Carolina.
