Three people are dead, and a 21-year-old is in custody Sunday morning after a Saturday night shooting in Brookhaven.
At approximately 10:56 p.m., Brookhaven Police responded to apartments behind Brookhaven Glass on South Railroad Avenue to reports of gunshots.
Shanecia Ferdinand, 28, and her brother LaDarius Rockingham, 30, had been shot and killed, according to Chief Kenneth Collins. Ferdinand was pregnant and the baby was also killed in the domestic situation, Collins said.
