Woman brain dead after Monday night shooting
by STAN MADDUXMICHIGAN CITY
A Michigan City woman is dead from a gunshot and the father of two of her children -- currently hospitalized -- is charged with murder.
Michelle Brown, 29, was declared brain dead just before 8:30 a.m. Tuesday at St. Anthony Memorial Health Center, according to Michigan City Police Detective Bureau Commander Lt. Sue Harrison.
Randolph Sanders II, 31, was charged about 2 p.m. when a judge in LaPorte Superior Court 1 found sufficient evidence to bring him to trial.
Sanders was still in the intensive care unit Tuesday afternoon at the same hospital.
Harrison said she did not know his official condition or prognosis.
According to police, officers responded to Normandy Village Apartments on the city's south side Monday just after 5 p.m.
Harrison said Sanders and Brown were inside a vehicle in the parking lot when he shot her once in the head then turned the gun on himself.
Harrison said an argument led up to the shooting but what led to the fight was not fully clear.
According to police, inside another vehicle nearby were three children including two boys, ages 6 and 2, the sons of Sanders and Brown.

I want to say Thank you for this.. I am a neice of Michelle Brown, my name is Clarissa M. and this was such a tragic day for our family.. They were arguing because she had finally said enough was enough of his abuse physically but mostly mentally..She was going home to get her and the childrens things, she had found a new boyfriend who had said she and her 3 kids could move in and she agreed. So when Randy found this out he waited for her at her apt and asked to talk to her when she got in the truck with him she told him she was done and he got mad and shot her realizing what he had done he turned the gun on himself but failing to take his own life but instead taking the life of a woman who had finally said ENOUGH and wanted to move on with her life..I love you Aunt Shelly may you Rest with the Angels <3
Thank you Clarissa. If you have a picture you would like to honor your aunt with and would like to post here, please send it to me at "indianasurvivor@gmail.com" and I will place here. I search hard for pictures of victims to honor them so they will not be forgotten. I couldn't find one of Michelle though. Thanks again.
Mishelle Brown was my great aunt and she was murdered 2 months after I was born. All because of 1 person who was hurting her and that she tried to end things with killed her and I only got to spend 2 months of great time with her when I was a newborn.
Okay so my name is Randy Sanders, the above article was written about me and I've yet to speak about this publicly. I find that this form babe be beneficial to expressing the Truth. On December 8th 2008 I received the phone call from Michelle around 1:00 p.m.
She asked me if I would like to see my kids and if so to meet me at her apartment around 5:00.
I arrived at the apartment complex Michelle asked me to follow her back to the apartment,she said she needed to talk to me about things and I said okay she come over she got my expedition we were talking she asked me who the girl I was with Friday was I told her my girlfriend Jessica and that me and her were over.
At this point Michelle pulls a silver 380 from her purse shoots me on the inner thigh raises the firearm to my chest a car pulls in next to us she looks at the car I grab the gun I shoot her.
At this point I can hear her struggling to breathe I get out of the truck I'd yell at her dad to call my little one I get back in checking on her.
Realize there was nothing I could do I go around to the driver side of the vehicle get in the driver's seat while my head pray to God it's the Lord please forgive me for what I did and what I'm about to do.
I shot myself with my own firearm not hers there was so much evidence that shows but the police and the prosecutor were so biased they wanted a conviction not to mention that Michelle had already been on probation for stalking and harassing me had a warrant out for her arrest for felony stalking. I waited three and a half years to go to trial went through one lawyer buying from cancer my second lawyer his daughter got in a car wreck is up with dramatic brain injury he wanted to postpone it judge Lang would not postpone it I ended up taking the plea bar again because I needed to move on with my life not because like did what they said I did.
I do not support or condone domestic violence in any way whether it's a man on woman or in this case a woman on a man domestic violence is a very serious subject
U piece of shit. Lying bastard, you was mad cuz my sister was in love with someone else, she never owed a gun and u was stalking her apartment complex, waiting for her to come back, your life is worthless, and your worthless, do the world a favor and kill yourself u pos,Shelly didn't want u no more, and u couldn't handle it, she didn't even own a gun dummy, take accountability for what u did, your own sons don't even want nothing to do with your worthless ass, die slow bitch
You will reap your karma i promise, what u put in the world it definitely will come back, and you got your karma on the way
Is this the same Michelle Brown from Kansas?
Julie the statement u made was not true she did own a guy it was Tim's gun first of secondly my son's don't talk to me cuz the lies you pushed on them. Third I had a girlfriend at that time Jessica witch your sister tried to run off the road and chase down. And your rt I did take her life after she shot me.
I want people to heal I've been out of prison for 5 yrs now after serving 10 yrs in prison, been out this whole time with no trouble and have built a good life dedicated to God and helping others. I pray for your healing.
No
This is her daughter Diamondd and I was there the night this happened. Everything that Randy stated in the above comment is all wrong. My mother NEVER had a gun in her purse that day or ever in her life. So right there is a lie and 2nd u called 3-4 different people that day telling everyone u we’re going to kill her so that’s another lie my mother NEVER would have tried to take ur mf life she was gonna be happy. You were just mad that she didn’t want your ass no more. And she never shot you so stop going around telling lies. And my aunt didn’t put my brothers against you. You did that your damn self when u decided to kill their mother because you were selfish asf. Just like when u killed her that night u said “if I can’t have her, no one can. So don’t even try to lie when I know everything that happened that day. Just leave me and my family and my brothers alone. We don’t give af about. ATP we just want you to die.
“she shot me” then why didn’t the police find any gun powder on her hands? nor did they find her fingerprints on the gun. but you know who’s they did find? Randy Sanders. and you know who had gun powder on his hands? Randy Sanders. You know who had a 10 year record of abusing his wife in front of her children, nieces, and nephews. Randolph Sanders. The sooner you learn how to stop living in the fantasy where you’re a good person the sooner you’ll actually become a good person. Find a therapist
