Chasity, who only wanted to be identified by her first name, and Vondrisha Mills said Brown visited them earlier Tuesday night.
"To walk out your front door and see a body lying there, it's just crazy," Mills said.
"I feel like it was crazy, he was here on our front porch at our house," Chasity said.
The women said Brown left their home and returned about an hour later with Tucker.
