Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard says he will seek the death penalty against two men accused of kidnapping a young couple and then murdering them execution style.

The bodies of 23-year-old Jeronta Brown and 21-year-old Briana Brooks, who was 7 months pregnant, were found on the side of the road in northwest Atlanta Aug. 30.

Police arrested 40-year-old Andre Gay and 41-year-old Richard Wilson a month later.

Howard announced a 30 count indictment against the two men Friday which include charges of murder, kidnapping with bodily harm, and kidnapping with a ransom. He plans to file paperwork next week seeking the death penalty.

Investigators say the two were identified through phone records and witness statements.

Howard says the suspects were looking for money when the approached the couple in their driveway.  He says an unidentified source had told the men a family member of one of the victims had come into some money.

Investigators do not believe Gay or Wilson went to the home with the intention to kidnap the victims but demanded a ransom of $150,000 after doing so.  When the family couldn’t pay, the victims were killed.

“This case has really struck the police officers and the members of the DA’s office because we’ve never seen a case exactly like this one,” says Howard.

He says Gay and Wilson have committed a total of nine murders between them in Fulton County since 1990. Wilson had just been indicted in June for the January murder of Fikree Jordan.  Gay was paroled in January for the murders of 39-year-old Cathy Dozier and 17-month-old Michael Broughton.

Howard is calling on the state Board of Pardons and Paroles to notify the victims and their family members before convicted murders and sex abusers are released from prison and to require constant monitoring of them using ankle bracelets.

Brooks’ mother Sadria Strong was among nearly 40 members of all the murder victims tied to Gay and Wilson.  She says her daughter’s baby, which was delivered two month pre-mature, is still hospitalized but doing well.

She agrees with Howard’s decision so seek the death penalty in the case.

“Justice has to be served because no one should be feeling what these other families are feeling; it’s like how many murders are enough,” she tells WSB’s Sandra Parrish.
