Nicole Brown Simpson was murdered on June 12, 1994. She was found stabbed to death alongside her friend Ron Goldman outside her condominium in Brentwood, California.
O.J. Simpson was immediately named a suspect and was eventually arrested, but not before he led police on a low-speed car chase that was televised nationwide.
According to a retired Los Angeles police officer, Nicole Brown Simpson knew "for a fact" that O.J. Simpson would kill her "one day."

O.J. Simpson was reportedly verbally abusive towards Nicole Brown Simpson. Various sources, including Nicole's diary entries and testimonies from friends and family, claim several instances of verbal abuse.
Nicole's sister, Denise Brown, testified during the 1995 murder trial that O.J. frequently berated Nicole with derogatory terms and insults. Additionally, Nicole's diary described episodes where O.J. called her names and belittled her, contributing to the overall pattern of abuse that included physical violence, according to PEOPLE Magazine.

Nicole Brown Simpson was brutally stabbed on the night of June 12, 1994, along with her friend Ron Goldman. She was 35 years old at the time of her death.
O.J. Simpson was charged with the murders and was supposed to turn himself in to the police, but he failed to appear. Later that day, Simpson was spotted in a white Ford Bronco driven by his friend Al Cowlings.
The chase was broadcast live on television and lasted about two hours.

According to PEOPLE Magazine, in the second episode of "The Life & Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson," Los Angeles police officer Spencer Marks said, “[Nicole] told me there had been ongoing problems and then she said ‘I know for a fact he’s going to murder me one day.'"
Marks was the officer who arrived on the scene after Nicole called 911 due to a confrontation with O.J., who saw her and a man she was dating at the time kissing on the couch.
Marks continued, “That sort of took me by surprise. If you know he’s going to murder you one day, then how do we prevent that? We need to keep you away from him. She sort of 'poo-pooed' it and said, ‘Well, you know, we’re trying to work on things. So, you know, it’s what we have to do.’”

This was not the only time she allegedly hinted that O.J. would kill her as during his trial, LAPD detective John Edwards, who was a witness for the prosecution’s case against O.J., recalled when Nicole Brown Simpson "collapsed and started yelling, ‘He’s going to kill me, he’s going to kill me.'"
He also testified that she had a one-inch cut on her upper lip, a swollen right forehead, a black eye, and a hand imprint on her throat.
Ultimately, O.J. Simpson was acquitted of the murders in 1995 but was ordered to pay $33 million in 1997 after the victims’ families filed a civil lawsuit.
He went to trial again in 2007 when he faced twelve felony charges, including kidnapping and armed robbery. Thirteen years to the day after his acquittal in the double murder trial, he was found guilty and sentenced to up to 33 years in prison.

As The Blast previously reported, on Thursday, April 11, 2024, the Simpson family announced that O.J. Simpson passed away on April 10, 2024. "He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren," the family stated. "During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace."
Earlier this year, The Blast reported O.J. had been undergoing chemotherapy following a prostate cancer diagnosis.
According to The American Cancer Society, "Almost all prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas. These cancers develop from the gland cells in the prostate (the cells that make the prostate fluid that is added to the semen). Other types of cancer that can start in the prostate include small cell carcinoma (small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma)."
His death left Nicole's sisters with mixed emotions, telling PEOPLE Magazine, "It’s very complicated."
"This is a person who’s been in our life for a very long time, who wreaked havoc on our family," Nicole's 54-year-old sister said. "It’s like the end of a chapter,"
