On July 29, 1999, Russell J. Brown, a 42-year-old day trader, was killed during a workplace shooting in Buckhead, Atlanta. The shooter, Mark O. Barton, entered Momentum Securities where Brown was working and opened fire; Brown was among four people killed in that initial attack. Barton then crossed the street to All-Tech Investment Group and killed five more people, wounding others, before a citywide manhunt ended with Barton’s suicide at a gas station in Acworth later that day.

Reports say Barton had earlier murdered his wife, Leigh Ann, and their two children, Matthew and Mychelle, in a suburb in the days before the Buckhead rampage, leaving notes with the victims. Investigators later linked Barton to earlier bludgeoning deaths from 1993 for which he was never charged.

Are there readers who knew Russell Brown or who worked in Buckhead that day and can share memories or information about him or the offices involved?
