On May 21, 2006, a service at the Ministry of Jesus Christ Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, turned deadly when 25-year-old Anthony Bell returned to the church armed after being rebuffed by his estranged wife, 24-year-old Erica Brown Bell. Inside the church he opened fire, killing four members of Erica’s family: her grandparents Leonard Howard, 78, and Gloria Howard, 72; her great-aunt Doloris Lucas Lowe McGrew, 68; and her cousin Darlene Mills Selvage, 47. Erica’s mother, Pastor Claudia Brown, was shot and survived.

After the church shootings Anthony Bell abducted Erica and the couple’s three young children. The children were later found unharmed, but Erica was found fatally shot at a nearby apartment complex; Anthony Bell was arrested there. Records show Erica had sought a temporary restraining order against Anthony months earlier citing family violence. Anthony Bell was charged with multiple counts including five counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder, and a jury later convicted him on all counts.

Does anyone have information about Erica, her family, or the events that morning that could shed more light on what happened?
