Kantral Brooks, 29, was shot to death during a home invasion in Bradenton, Florida, on July 9, 2015. Masked intruders forced entry by throwing a brick through the front door windows and immediately opened fire; Brooks was shot near the door and his girlfriend, Ester Deneus, was shot by the couch and also died. The couple’s five children, ages 1 to 11, were in the home at the time and were not harmed.

Investigators say Brooks was the primary target. Officers found 14 ounces of powder cocaine and several bags of rock cocaine in the home, evidence that investigators linked to possible narcotics involvement and motive. The Bradenton Police Department identified three suspects: Trey Nonnombre, Jimmie McNear, and Terez Jones. Nonnombre and McNear were arrested and charged with second-degree murder and held without bond; according to the department they did not cooperate and would not provide Jones’s whereabouts. Jones remained at large and was described as armed and dangerous.

Did anyone in the Bradenton area have information about Brooks, Deneus, or the people named as suspects?
