Massey, the most senior policeman on the force. Massey attempted to arrest Brown but Brown shot and fatally wounded Massey; however, Massey was able to fire back before dying, wounding Brown who eventually succumbed to injuries as well on July 31. A mob of several thousand citizens (mostly all white) formed outside the Vanderburgh County Jail on July 6 and attempted to storm the jail with the intention of lynching Brown and 16 other black inmates.
