The Trumbull County Coroner’s office has ruled the death of Jane Larue Brown a homicide as a result of blunt traumatic injuries and an incision of the neck.

Brown, 84, of Church Hill-Hubbard Road, was found dead in her home about 6:15 a.m. Monday after neighbors called 911 about noises coming from a wooded area a couple hundred yards away.

When Liberty police arrived, they found Brown’s Cadillac SUV on fire in a wooded area nearby. It led them to Brown’s house and her body.

Police later arrested Sean Clemens, 33, her neighbor across the street, who is charged in Brown’s death.
