The aunt of Brown, who saw the abduction happen, interviewed with a local Atlanta news station
She said the young couple was returning with their 8-month-old baby and Brown’s 14-year-old sister around 12:30 a.m. when they were ambushed by at least two masked men.
“When they pulled up, they pulled up behind them so they were maybe following them,” Brown’s sister, who escaped by running into a neighbor’s yard with the baby, told WSBTV.
Brown also managed to escape, said Myesha, but once he realized Brooks was not with him he came back for her.
“Once he turned around and saw his fiancée laid out on the ground he just turned around and said you just might as well take me too,” she told WXIA.
Myesha, who was inside the house when this all happened, said the abductors then turned their attention to the house.
