On the late night of August 30, 2014, 23-year-old Jeronta Brown and his 21-year-old pregnant girlfriend, Briana Brooks, were ambushed outside Brown’s mother’s home in DeKalb County after a late-night food run. Two men abducted the couple and shortly afterward Brown’s mother received a ransom demand of $150,000; she was briefly allowed to speak with Jeronta, who urged her to comply. That was his last known contact with family.

Several hours later a passerby found Brown and Brooks handcuffed together on the side of Ridge Avenue in northwest Atlanta, about 17 miles from where they had been taken. Both had been shot in the head; Jeronta was pronounced dead at the scene. Brooks, seven months pregnant, was taken to hospital, placed on life support and gave birth prematurely; she later died and the infant also died several days after birth.

Atlanta police arrested Andre Gay in late September 2014 and Richard Wilson (known as Fathead) in early October 2014. Reports say both men later pleaded guilty to murder, feticide and kidnapping and received multiple life terms and additional years in prison. Does anyone have information about the victims’ final movements that night or witnessed activity near Ridge Avenue?
