Adrien Brown, a 42-year-old African American man from Youngstown, OH, tragically died on December 12, 2019. He was one of three victims in a triple homicide that occurred in a home on Delason Avenue on the south side of Youngstown. The other victims were 38-year-old Jamal Burley and 38-year-old Korey Jennings. All three men were found with gunshot wounds, and the case is being investigated as a probable homicide.
The investigation revealed that multiple weapons were used in the shooting,
suggesting the possibility of multiple shooters. Police were called to the scene around 11:15 p.m. after a person who was present at the home discovered one of the victims lying on the floor and called 911. The victims were found in different parts of the house: one in the living room, one in the kitchen, and one near the front door.
In connection with the case, two suspects were arrested and charged with complicity to commit murder. Terry Hopkins, 22, turned himself in to the police, while Kenneth Carter, 34, was arrested shortly after. Both suspects were arraigned in municipal court, and their bond was set at $750,000 each. The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, and investigators have not commented on any potential reasons for the crime.
The tragic loss of Adrien Brown, along with Jamal Burley and Korey Jennings, has deeply affected their families and the community. The case continues to be under investigation, and the authorities are working to bring justice for the victims and their loved ones.
