DECATUR, Ga. — A suburban Atlanta couple who were engaged to be married were kidnapped outside their home and later found lying in the street, both shot in the head execution style, a few hours later on the street.
Jeronta Brown and his pregnant fiancee, Briana Brooks, were out for a meal with their 8-month-old baby and 14-year-old niece out for a meal. When the four returned their Decatur home, authorities say several men jumped them and thrown into the back of a van. Brown’s aunt, Myesha Brown, said the men tried to get inside the house before leaving.
“The guys walked up, started ringing on the doorbell, beating on the door, yelling, ‘FBI, FBI,’” Brown said, according to USA Today. Brown said the family called 911 instead. Police did show up, but Brown said they didn’t take the kidnapping seriously.
A driver 17 miles away in northwest Atlanta spotted Brooks and Brown lying in the street, both with gunshot wounds in the head
Jerota Brown was dead on the scene. Brooks, seven months pregnant with the couple’s second child, was still alive.
Doctors were able to deliver the baby girl by C-section. Brown says the infant is doing fine, but Brooks remains in grave condition.
Their families have pulled together a $15,000 reward for anyone who can tell them who did it.
DeKalb County police were unavailable to talk about the crime and their response to it because of the holiday weekend.
