On July 7, 2020, 19-year-old Brian Woolridge was helping pack a U-Haul in Ellenwood, Georgia, when the move turned deadly. The family was leaving a Scarborough Road home because of alleged harassment by the homeowner, 80-year-old Hailu Abebe.

Family members detained Abebe at the scene and called police. The case later went to trial, and a Henry County jury convicted Hailu Abebe of malice murder, felony murder, four counts of aggravated assault, and four counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Superior Court Judge Danielle Roberts sentenced Abebe to life in prison plus 20 years.

Does anyone have information about Brian’s life in Ellenwood or memories of him that could add context to what happened that day?
