The streets of Dublin, Georgia saw a burst of violence in a deadly shooting that claimed two lives. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has taken three men into custody in the aftermath of the March 21st double homicide. Among the accused are Kyndall Xavier Ashante Brazeal, 22, of Rentz, who faces charges related to felony murder and gang terrorism, according to a GBI report.
Also apprehended were Jaswain Martwain Bell, 23, of Dublin, and Quintez Dewayne Mercer, 27, of East Dublin, each charged with multiple counts including felony murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. In a dark turn of events, victims Miyori Ellington, age 23, and Sacred Brown, age 24, both residents of Dublin, were killed at the scene amidst the spray of gunfire that night.
All three suspects are now behind bars at the Laurens County Detention Center. While one survivor of the shooting remains hospitalized in stable condition, the initial altercation left others wounded and a community reeling. This spate of gun violence unleashed in a hail of bullets has shaken the small community, and many are now looking for answers and justice.
Crime tape and flashing lights filled the 500 block of West Avenue in the early morning hours of March 31, where Dublin Police Department responded to the shooting just after 2 a.m. The GBI was called to investigate, unearthing the harrowing details of a vehicle that served as the source of multiple rounds fired into a crowd. In total, seven people were hit, five of whom were rushed to hospital.
The GBI is urging anyone with more details to come forward, providing contact information and ways to submit tips online or through a mobile app. The completion of the investigation will leave the hands of law enforcement and transition to the realm of the Dublin Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office, who will carry out the prosecution.
