In a post Monday morning on X (formerly Twitter), the U.S. Marshals Service announced a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to Brown’s arrest or capture. That is an increase from the $7,500 reward that was offered as of Sunday morning.
The post included his U.S. Marshals Service's Wanted poster: “Michael Paul BROWN. WANTED FOR: Quadruple Homicide in Anaconda, MT. USMS REWARD: Up to $10,000.”
The Wanted poster lists Brown’s date of birth as Oct. 31, 1979. He is described as a white male with brown hair and blue eyes, 5’10” tall and weighing 170 lbs.
It goes on to state the following information:
“The USMS D/MT is seeking the public’s assistance with locating BROWN. On August 1, 2025, local law enforcement responded to an active shooter at The Owl Bar in Anaconda, MT at 10:30 a.m. that left four people dead and the gunman, later identified as BROWN at large. Shortly following, law enforcement located BROWN in a vehicle developing into a pursuit. BROWN eluded law enforcement and the vehicle was located and abandoned. BROWN was last seen heading west of Anaconda on Stumptown Road. BROWN served in the U.S. Army (2001-2005), deployed to Iraq (2004-2005), and Montana National Guard (2006-2009).
