Keyona Griffin, 25, and her aunt Cherletta Baber-Bey, 47, were found shot to death at a Sheldon Avenue SE home in Grand Rapids on March 13, 2019. That morning Keyona made a whispered 911 call saying her aunt had been killed and that she was in imminent danger. When officers first checked the house they left after there was no answer at the door and no obvious signs of forced entry. A few hours later Keyona’s brother discovered her body and called 911; both women were then found dead.

Keyona had been shot four times, including a wound to her face. Cherletta was found in her room with a gunshot to the back of her head while she was listening to an iPad with earbuds in. Investigators focused on 45-year-old Derrell Demon Brown, who had been living in the home and whom Keyona had said made her uncomfortable. An empty gun box and ammunition were found at the scene and Brown fled after the killings.

Authorities say he remains at large and may be receiving assistance in multiple states; a reward has been offered for information leading to his arrest.
