On December 6, 2025, 72-year-old Monica Brookins and her 73-year-old husband, John Wells, were shot multiple times inside their Yoshino Terrace home in Powder Springs, Georgia, and later died of their injuries at a hospital. Police describe the incident as domestic-related. According to arrest warrants, Monica was shot in the head as she entered the house; she was struck a total of five times and Wells three times. The alleged shooter was a family member who lived with the couple, 31-year-old Martin Duberry, their son and stepson. Duberry reportedly called 911 to report the shooting and allegedly told a dispatcher he had shot his parents; warrants say he told investigators he was tired of them and wanted to be alone. He was arrested and held at the Cobb County Jail on counts including two counts of murder, multiple counts of aggravated assault and aggravated battery, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Neighbors recalled the couple as warm, friendly and active in their homeowners association.
