Two Guilty In Execution-Style Murder Of Pregnant Woman, Fiance

ATLANTA, GA -- Two men will receive four consecutive life sentences without parole in the Aug. 30, 2014, executive-style murder of a pregnant woman and her fiance. Andre Gay, 44, and Richard Wilson, 46, will plead guilty Monday morning in Fulton County Superior Court to the murders of Jeonta Brown and Briana
Brooks. Gay and Wilson kidnapped Brooks and Brown believing one of their relatives recently received a significant amount of money from an insurance settlement.

Hours into the kidnapping the defendants called the victim’s family members asking for ransom. Eventually, the defendants drove the victims to a location in northwest Atlanta. Gay and Wilson shot Brown and Brooks in the back of the head and left them to die on the side of the road.

When police arrived they found the couple handcuffed together with their hands behind their backs. Brown
was already dead while Brooks was unconscious but still gasping for air. She was taken to Grady Hospital where her unborn baby was delivered two months early. Brooks died days later.

Brown and Brooks were the parents of two other young children at the time of their deaths. Gay and Wilson met in prison and both men were out on parole. The two have killed at least seven people in Fulton County.
