On the morning of March 13, 2019, officers responding to a 911 call found 47-year-old Charletta Dominque Baber-Bey and her 25-year-old niece, Keyona Griffin, shot to death inside a home on Sheldon Avenue SE in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Investigators determined both deaths were homicides after a 911 call from Griffin in which she whispered that her aunt had been killed and that she was next. Police were unable to make contact during the initial response and later discovered the two women deceased.

Attention quickly focused on Charletta’s live-in boyfriend, Derrell Demon Brown, who vanished from the residence and became the primary person of interest. A felony warrant for receiving and concealing a stolen firearm was issued, and Brown was later charged with two counts of murder. Surveillance placed him near the scene shortly after the killings. Brown is known to have used several aliases including Darryl Robinson, Carter Brown, and Marcus Wright.

The case remains open; anyone with information about Brown’s whereabouts or sightings is asked to come forward.
