On the night of August 30, 2014, 23-year-old Jeronta Brown and his 21-year-old fiancée, Briana Brooks, were abducted after returning to their Colleen Court home in Decatur. A van pulled up, men claiming to be FBI agents forced the couple into the vehicle, and their 14-year-old niece and an 8-month-old child who were with them escaped. The kidnappers used Brown’s phone to demand $150,000, apparently believing the family had received a large insurance settlement.

Hours later the couple were found on Ridge Avenue in northwest Atlanta, handcuffed together and each killed with a gunshot to the head. Brown was pronounced dead at the scene. Brooks, seven months pregnant, was taken to hospital; doctors delivered her baby girl, but Brooks died days later. Investigators tied the attack to two parolees, Andre Gay and Richard Fathead Wilson, who had met in prison and were linked to multiple Fulton County killings.

Anyone with information about Jeronta Brown, Briana Brooks, or this case is asked to share what they know.
