On the night of August 30, 2014, 21-year-old Briana Brooks and her 23-year-old fiancé, Jeronta Brown, were ambushed outside a home on Coleen Court in Decatur, Georgia. Men posing as FBI agents handcuffed the couple, forced them into a van, and held them for hours while demanding ransom from relatives after mistakenly believing a family member had received a large insurance settlement. The captors drove the pair to Ridge Avenue in northwest Atlanta and shot them execution-style in the back of the head while they remained handcuffed together.

Jeronta Brown was found dead at the scene. Briana Brooks, seven months pregnant, was found alive, taken to a hospital, and delivered a premature daughter. Brooks’ injuries proved too severe; she was removed from life support a few days later and died, leaving behind three young children with Brown. Investigators identified Andre Gay and Richard Wilson as the kidnappers; both were arrested in late 2014.

Is there anyone who knew Briana or Jeronta or who remembers the couple in Decatur in 2014 who can share details that might help keep their memories alive?
