Arrest made in May 2017 murder

Spokane County Sheriff’s Office major crimes detectives, continuing to investigate the suspicious death of Brenda L. Brown, arrested 49-year-old Ronald A. Beck Nov. 19.  A family member of Brown reported the incident after finding her deceased body inside the home on May 10, 2017. 

Detective Scott Bonney arrested Beck, another cousin of Brown at the same residence in the 3900 block of East Lane Park where Brown lived with Ronald Beck and his half-brother. 

The Spokane County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the cause of Brown’s death as strangulation, and through information and evidence gained during this lengthy investigation, detective Bonney developed probable cause to charge Beck with second-degree murder. 

Beck was transported and booked into the Spokane County Jail.
