Brittany Rayne Richards, 28, was shot and killed at her Mulvane Drive home in Plano, Texas, on October 27, 2021. Her boyfriend, 26-year-old Ross Linford Escalante, was found dead at the scene from an apparent gunshot wound as well. Both victims were discovered inside the residence with shell casings around their bodies and an empty handgun on the dining room table.

Investigators say the suspect was Brittany’s brother, 29-year-old Blake Ryan Richards. Blake was detained at a Target in Wylie after telling a friend he had killed the two; that friend alerted police. Officers located and arrested Blake and reportedly found a loaded rifle in his vehicle. Items recovered during the investigation included a bulletproof vest, drug paraphernalia, and books about booby-trapping and sniper training in Blake’s bedroom.

Blake Richards was charged with capital murder and held in the Collin County Detention Center on a $1 million bond. Does anyone have information about Brittany or Ross that could help clarify what happened that night?
