Mike Brown Memorial Destroyed by Fire – Video

Police speculate candles are the cause of a fire that destroyed a Michael Brown memorial on Canfield Drive Tuesday morning, KMOV reports.

The memorial, created in the days after Brown was fatally shot on Aug. 9 by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, is feet away from where Brown died.

A News 4 photographer on the scene said firefighters used extinguishers, not hoses, to control the flames.

Shortly after the fire was put out, people in the area began to rebuild the memorial using stuffed animals.

No other details were available.
