According to the Daily Republic, Moore stated that he was innocent while he was being placed in a police vehicle. A second man, said to have been staying as a guest in the home of the victim, was held for questioning, but later released.

On Wednesday, a .22 caliber rifle was found at the scene of the shooting by a neighbor. Mattos said tall grass and darkness on Tuesday night made it difficult to spot the rifle.

Police are investigating the shooting. They do not believe there was an argument or struggle preceding the shooting death of Brown.
