Darriynn Brown Wiki – Darriynn Brown Biography
Darriynn Brown is a Dallas man who is accused of kidnapping and murdering a 4-year-old boy named Cash Gernon who was taken from his crib and found in the street.
“The suspect has been identified as 18-year-old Darriynn Brown. He is charged with kidnapping and burglary. Dallas investigators anticipate additional charges, pending results from a forensic analysis,” Dallas police wrote in a news release. The child was identified as Cash Gernon by Malini Basu, a reporter with WFAA-TV. The motive is not clear; it’s also not clear whether Brown was a stranger to Cash. The hashtag #CashGernon was trending as some people argued the national media was not giving enough attention to the boy’s death.
According to the Morning News, Brown went to Duncanville High and middle schools. A woman who identified herself as Brown’s mother claimed he was “framed” to the Morning News and said Brown “is a patient of Metrocare Services, which provides mental health care to children and adults.”

Darriynn Brown is an 18-year-old.
Suspect
The child’s cause of death was not released. But police said the killer used an edged weapon, according to CBS Local. WFAA-TV reported that the child had “multiple wounds” to his body.
The child was shirtless and shoeless when found, according to The Dallas Morning News. The newspaper reported that a jogger discovered the child’s body, initially thinking he was a dog.
Charges – Arrested
Brown was already facing a misdemeanor charge of evading arrest from April 27, 2021, according to online court records in Dallas County. The Dallas Morning News reported that he lives with his parents “who provide for him financially.” And his address in court records is just a half-mile from where the child’s body was discovered.
It’s not clear whether Brown and the boy knew each other. According to The New York Post, a local news report that Brown was wearing an ankle monitor at the time of the boy’s murder proved inaccurate. According to the Dallas Morning News, an arrest affidavit in the case says that the child was lifted out of his crib and kidnapped.
