Man Indicted In Atlanta Shooting Death Of UPS Attorney

ATLANTA, GA -- A Fulton County grand jury has indicted a 39-year-old Roswell man in the shooting death of an attorney for Sandy Springs-based UPS, who was on her way to work when she was killed in the middle of a Midtown Atlanta street.

Raylon Browning was indicted this week on murder, felony murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charges in the shooting death of Trinh Hong Huynh. He was also indicted on two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a knife during the commission of a felony, aggravated battery and simple battery for the alleged attack on two construction workers, the Fulton County District Attorney's Office said.

Atlanta police responded to a call of a person shot around 7:40 a.m. April 3 where they found Huynh dead from a gunshot wound in the middle of a crossswalk at the intersection of Peachtree Street and Peachtree Place.

Surveillance video from the scene of the crime helped police identify the shooter as Browning and later that day, he was arrested by Cobb County police after running a red light. During the traffic stop, Cobb police learned Browning also had an active arrest warrant for aggravated assault in connection to the stabbings that occurred a day before Huynh was gunned down.

He was taken into custody and detectives were able to tie him to Huynh's death, the district attorney's office said. While housed at the Fulton County Jail, Browning allegedly attacked another inmate without provocation. He was transferred to the jail's medical wing and was seen by another deputy biting into his left arm. Jail staff opted to transport Browning to Grady Memorial Hospital where he was treated.

Huynh was a corporate attorney with UPS, which has its corporate headquarters at 55 Glenlake Parkway in Sandy Springs. UPS Public Relations Director Susan Rosenberg said the company was "saddened" to hear the news of its staff attorney's death.

Huynh joined the corporate office last summer and "brought a vibrancy with her talent that extended to connections across Atlanta for volunteer service and advocacy to address community issues," Rosenberg added.

She was about to embark on her morning commute when her life was cut short.

"Prior to UPS, she sought varied experiences in her career that included large and small legal firm practice and travel," Rosenberg previously told Patch. "UPS will cooperate with the Atlanta Police Department through its ongoing investigation as they pursue information."
