Louis Brown Jr., the father of Nicole Brown Simpson, has died at his Southern California home at the age of 90.

Family attorney Natasha Roit says Brown died in Dana Point.

Roit says Brown served in World War II as a pilot.

Two children preceded him in death, including Nicole Brown Simpson, who was brutally killed in 1994. Her former husband, O.J. Simpson, was acquitted of murder in the high-profile trial.

Brown and his daughter Denise founded the Nicole Brown Charitable Foundation, through which Brown worked to raise awareness of domestic violence and increase funding for assistance.
