Cordeldrick Laquinn Brooks was 27 when he was killed in the early morning of September 22, 2015, in Augusta, Georgia. He left the home he shared with the mother of his child driving a white GMC Envoy. Cell phone records show contacts between Brooks and Kameron Reese between 4:00 a.m. and 4:08 a.m., and the two men met with Christopher Berry soon after.

Brooks offered to drive the others to a hotel to de-escalate, and the three entered Brooks’s Envoy. The vehicle came to rest at Lumpkin and Old McDuffie Roads after Brooks jerked the wheel and struck a telephone pole. Reese fled and heard three gunshots. A passerby found Brooks shoeless and gravely injured; he died of two gunshot wounds to the torso.

Christopher Berry and Kameron Reese were arrested during the investigation. Reese gave differing accounts but ultimately testified against Berry; his testimony and cell phone evidence were relied on at trial. A jury found Berry guilty of malice murder and kidnapping, and he was sentenced to life in prison. Does anyone have information about Brooks’s movements that morning or remembers seeing the white GMC Envoy in that area?
