    Brent was one of my best friends in college and after. It’s too bad this guy surrendered.

    sad story- i looked him up …..according to reports from those who knew him and the deceased victim, they were both “good kids” from respectable families- born in the us virgin islands…local police reports (in Ga) have reported that there were “multiple stab wounds”
