Brown was booked in Oct. 2023 after being charged with first-degree murder and concealment of the body of 73-year-old Simmons-Brown, for which he pleaded not guilty.

A visitor log obtained by RadarOnline.com showed that he's been visited 18 times by nine different people since the date he was booked.

The 35-year-old had traveled to Cancún before he was extradited. Mexican law enforcement later deported him to the U.S. after authorities in Illinois obtained an arrest warrant.

Brown is accused of killing his mother and trying to hide the evidence after her body was found near a creek behind her suburban Chicago home, according to the Maywood Police Department.

It was understandably a devastating turn of events for her loved ones. "We're going to find out what happened because it's not normal for my sister to not answer her phone, not to respond to text messages. People have been reaching out to her since Friday. No one was able to reach her," her heartbroken sister, Sheila Simmons, told local outlet WGN9.

"Now, I got the call this morning saying that she's missing, so immediately I came out here and find out my sister is dead."

According to prosecutors, investigators also found similarities between DNA samples from under Simmons-Brown's fingernails and a toothbrush in Brown's bedroom.

Public defender Robert Fox argued there were no witnesses to such a crime. "There's no direct evidence. It's all circumstantial," Fox said during a detention hearing in October.
