In the early morning hours of Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024, a burst of gunfire in the 500 block of West Avenue in Dublin, Georgia, ended the lives of 24-year-old Sacred Brown and 23-year-old Miyori Ellington and wounded five others. The shooting happened just after 2 a.m. when a vehicle stopped near a crowd and its occupants opened fire. Brown and Ellington were pronounced dead at the scene.

Within days, three arrests were made: 22-year-old Kyndall Xavier Ashante Brazeal on April 1, 23-year-old Jaswain Martwain Bell on April 2, and 27-year-old Quintez Dewayne Mercer on April 3. All three were charged with multiple felonies, including felony murder and aggravated assault, and authorities said the attack was gang-related. Investigators identified Bell and Mercer as members of a hybrid criminal street gang called Money Power Loyalty and said the intended target was a rival gang member; Brown and Ellington were not the targets.

Anyone who knew Sacred Brown or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
