    Terrell rampage suspect charged with capital murder in clerk's slaying

    TERRELL — An overnight manhunt in Kaufman County led to the arrest of a 36-year-old Terrell man after five people were found killed at four separate locations Monday.

    Charles Everett Brownlow Jr. was arrested following a car chase with police, sheriff's deputies and state troopers. The chase began Monday night and went into the early morning hours Tuesday. At about 1:30 a.m., the chase ended when Brownlow crashed his car on College Mound Road and fled into a wooded area south of U.S. 80, where he was later apprehended.

    "We're all in a state of shock," said Terrell police Chief Jody Lay. "This is going to have a big impact on us."

    Authorities found the first victim at about 5 p.m., which is when they received a report of a shooting in the 300 block of Tyler St. Upon arriving at the scene, police found the body of a woman with a bullet wound to the head.

    About 30 minutes later and only a few blocks away from the first crime scene, a Terrell firefighter spotted a house ablaze in the 300 block of Stalling St. As firefighters worked to extinguish the fire, the body of another woman was found inside the residence. Authorities said the fire was a clear case of arson and noted Brownlow — who lives at the home — was missing from the residence, along with a 2002 white Ford Focus.

    Terrell police said they quickly linked the two crime scenes and began a search for both Brownlow and the missing vehicle.

    It was hours before they received their next call at about 10 p.m., which is when a 911 caller reported numerous shots fired in the 800 block of N. Francis St. No one was injured at that address.

    Then, at 10:27 p.m., police found a man and woman dead at another residence in the 800 block of Eulalia Dr. A 3-year-old child was found uninjured in a bed inside the home.

    Ten minutes later, an officer spotted the Ford Focus at a convenience store in the 700 block of W. Moore Ave. At the scene, the officer spotted the suspect and found a deceased victim. Police said Brownlow made an escape as the officer called in an alert.

    The suspect fled the scene by car and led police on a chase through several neighborhoods before the vehicle wrecked on College Mound Road, which dead ends. Police said Brownlow fled on foot into an area with heavy brush.

    At about 1:30 a.m., a helicopter spotted Brownlow hiding in a creek near Gardner Street and Canton, where he was taken into custody.

    No names were released and the motive for the crimes was under investigation.

    Clarence Graham said one of the victims is his first cousin.

    "I'm still in shock about it," he said. "I've got to let it soak in. I don't know. It's something that's hard to deal with."

    Denise Fields, who lives in the neighborhood where the first two bodies were found, was trying to absorb the tragedy on Monday night.

    "This is a good community, and we don't know what happened and what triggered it all," she said. "It's something that God is going to have to handle."

    Terrell is 30 miles east of Dallas.

    Here is a shocker! Charles had a drug problem. And he "always wanted to take things". Yeah, that is called a thief, a criminal.

    A man suspected of killing his mother and four other people during a quick series of attacks in his rural North Texas community struggles with drug addiction, his brother said Tuesday.

    Terrence Walker told The Associated Press that his brother, 36-year-old Charles Everett Brownlow Jr., lived at their mother's home in Terrell. He said his brother, who was arrested early Tuesday following a police chase, "always wanted to take something that wasn't his," and that their mother, Mary Brownlow, always put up with it.

    "I was hoping my mom would open her eyes and realize that she needed to let him grow up, put him out," said Walker, who said an aunt was among the other victims. Walker said his own family spent the night at a hotel instead of their home in Forney, and that he was armed with a pistol in case his brother came after him.

    Police haven't disclosed the preliminary charges against Brownlow, but they have said he is suspected of killing all five people. Prosecutors referred questions to police, saying they weren't involved in the case yet.

    "We're all in a state of shock," police Chief Jody Law said at a news conference. "You have a tendency to think, 'How can that happen here?' This is a country community, a rural community, people are real close. This is going to be, it's going to have a really big impact on us."

    Lay didn't release the victims' names or discuss a possible motive for the attacks, which began around 5 p.m. Monday when a woman was gunned down at a Terrell home.

    About 30 minutes later, fire units responded to the blaze at Mary Brownlow's house a few blocks away. When the fire was extinguished, crews found a woman's body in the smoldering wreckage. Lay said it was clearly arson.

    At about 10:30 p.m., police responding to a report of a shooting elsewhere in Terrell found the bodies of a man and a woman who had been shot at a home and a 3-year-old boy who wasn't harmed. The child was released to relatives, Lay said.

    At this point a description of the stolen vehicle the suspect was believed to be driving was released to officers and, just minutes later, an off-duty police officer saw that vehicle parked outside the convenience store. As the officer called in the sighting, the suspect ran from the store, jumped in the vehicle and sped away, Lay said.

    A high-speed police chase ensued. The suspect wrecked the car and took off on foot into thick woods, dropping a holster or handgun on the way, the chief said.

    A police helicopter and dogs were summoned to assist in the manhunt, and the suspect was found hiding in a creek.

    The fifth victim, a male clerk, was found slain at the store.

    The store's owner, Ali Karimi, said the slain clerk was a model employee and "beautiful young man" who leaves behind a 1-year-old son.

    "We're still in the process of putting this massive investigation together," Lay said. "We're still making sure that surviving family members are appropriately notified."

    Kaufman County criminal history. Now, a couple of the charges are listed as "Charles E Brownlow" without the "JR"....so I do not know if it is him or his father, but it is the same address used across all of these cases.

    Of special note is that the last case, a 2013 theft case, he was sentenced to 33 days in jail, which was immediately credited back to him and he was released on September 4th. He was on bail for the 2012 case when he picked up this charge around August 1st, 2013.

    The 2012 Unlawful Weapon and Weed charge resulted in a 112 day sentence with you guessed it, 129 days credit.

    The 2011 Family Violence - Assault charge was either charged or changed to a misdemeanor, even though there are 3 other previous charges, which were all dismissed. He served a whopping 15 days, you guessed it again! Credit time served.

    Now we wait to see what the mother's name was.

    Looks like a different family.

    Brownlow's brother, Terrence Wallace, told The Associated Press that the 36-year-old Brownlow struggled with drug addiction and lived with their mother, Mary Brownlow.

    North Texas rampage suspect charged with capital murder in clerk's slaying

    An overnight manhunt in Kaufman County led to the arrest of a 36-year-old Terrell man after five people were found killed at four separate locations Monday.

    Charles Everett Brownlow Jr. was arrested following a car chase with police, sheriff's deputies and state troopers. The chase began Monday night and went into the early morning hours Tuesday. At about 1:30 a.m., the chase ended when Brownlow crashed his car on College Mound Road and fled into a wooded area south of U.S. 80, where he was later apprehended.

    "We're all in a state of shock," said Terrell police Chief Jody Lay. "This is going to have a big impact on us."

    As of Tuesday afternoon, Brownlow has been charged with a single count of capital murder. Lay said more charges are pending –– the murder charge is for the slaying of a convenience store clerk, the last before he triggered a chase with authorities.

    "A number of additional charges should be anticipated, including additional capital murder charges," Lay said. "We will continue to move forward diligently and appropriately and with due regard to the situation we have here."

    The suspect was on the loose for more than eight hours. Lay defended the actions of his police officers, saying they acclimated quickly to the rapidly changing incident. The public was not notified of the rampage until after his car was identified.

    "This was an extremely dynamic event that changed very rapidly," he said in an afternoon news conference. "In hindsight, it's always wonderful to look at a timeline and determine that it was clearly predictable that this was occuring and that this guy was on the loose but that wasn't how exactly in real time that it unfolded."

    "We were scrambling, quite frankly, for the first several hours of this investigation," he added.

    Police found the first victim at about 5 p.m., which is when the Terrell Police Department received a report of a shooting in the 300 block of Tyler St. Upon arriving at the scene, police found the body of a woman with a bullet wound to the head.

    About 30 minutes later and only a few blocks away from the first crime scene, a Terrell firefighter spotted a house ablaze in the 300 block of Stalling St. As firefighters worked to extinguish the fire, the body of another woman was found inside the residence. Authorities said the fire was a clear case of arson and noted Brownlow — who lives at the home — was missing from the residence, along with a 2002 white Ford Focus.

    "I'm at a total loss," said Terrence Walker, who identified himself as Brownlow's brother. "My mom was so quiet and good."

    Walker said his mother, 63-year-old Mary Brownlow, was the victim found in the burning home. He also said his aunt, Belinda Walker, was another victim.

    Terrell police said they quickly linked the two crime scenes and began a search for both Brownlow and the missing vehicle.

    It was hours after the second body was found before authorities received their next call at about 10 p.m., which is when a 911 caller reported a shooting in the 800 block of N. Francis St. involving a suspect fitting Brownlow's description. No one was injured at that address.

    Then, at 10:27 p.m., police found a man and woman dead at another residence in the 800 block of Eulalia Dr. A 3-year-old child was found uninjured in a bed inside the home. Lay said Brownlow and the two victims "hung out occasionally." They were identified as Jason Wooden, 33, of Terrell, and Kelley Pratt, 30, of Terrell.

    According to a search warrant, the child told responding officers "that a guy came in and shot his mom and dad" and had a gun. The warrant says officers observed spent shell casings, projectiles and live ammunition on the floor of the garage and "various other parts of the house." A blood trial also led from the kitchen area to the rear portion of the house, where the two bodies were found, the document says.

    The child was given to family members.

    Ten minutes later, an officer spotted the Ford Focus at a convenience store in the 700 block of W. Moore Ave. At the scene, the officer spotted the suspect, who made an escape as the officer called in an alert. Authorities later found the body of store clerk Luis Leal inside the store.

    The suspect fled the scene by car and led police on a chase through several neighborhoods before the vehicle wrecked on College Mound Road, which dead ends. Police said Brownlow fled on foot into an area with heavy brush. Officers pursued, but lost track of him after chasing him nearly 150 yards.

    At about 1:30 a.m., a Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter spotted Brownlow hiding in a creek near Gardner and Canton streets, where he was taken into custody. Police will not say whether a gun was recovered on his person, nor the type of weapon he used. Lay did say that investigators believe only one gun was used in all of the murders.

    "We are conferring with the DA's office we don't want to do anything at this point that may jeopardize or compromise the success of any prosecution on this," he said.

    Had the officer not spotted the suspect, Lay said he was concerned there would've been more victims.

    "Had the police officer not intervened, I'm very concerned that we would've had additional situations," Lay said.

    The motive for the crimes is under investigation.

    "I'm devastated," Walker said. "... I'm in a daze. It must have been drugs."

    Lay said Brownlow "appeared to be intoxicated on some sort of substance" but that investigators do not "have a real good idea of what that is." He declined to speculate on a motive, only saying detectives have several theories they are investigating.

    Clarence Graham said one of the victims is his first cousin.

    "I'm still in shock about it," he said. "I've got to let it soak in. I don't know. It's something that's hard to deal with."

    Denise Fields, who lives in the neighborhood where the first two bodies were found, was trying to absorb the tragedy on Monday night.

    "This is a good community, and we don't know what happened and what triggered it all," she said. "It's something that God is going to have to handle."

    Terrell Mayor Hal Richards defended the city as safe and praised the "textbook police operation" that led to the arrest of Brownlow. He said neither this incident nor the slaying of the Kaufman County District Attorney, his wife and the assistant district attorney means the city isn't a safe place to live.

    "I guess I don't understand why anyone would like any events in Kaufman County," he said. "This was an isolated incident with one suspect who was, as I mentioned before, captured by the result of a really great police investigation."

    All the families of the victims have been notified, Lay said. Family and friends of Leal have planned a vigil for 6 p.m. at the Terrell Chamber of Commerce.

    Terrell is 30 miles east of Dallas.

    Suspect in N. Texas shooting spree indicted again

    A North Texas man has been indicted for four additional murders in a suspected day-long shooting spree last year.

    Charles Brownlow was indicted Friday in the deaths of his mother, aunt and two other people who lived in the town of Terrell (TEHR'-uhl), east of Dallas.

    He already faced a capital murder charge for the death of a store clerk.

    Authorities accuse the 36-year-old Brownlow of staging four attacks during the evening of Oct. 28, allegedly killing his aunt, mother, a couple living in a different neighborhood and a store clerk. He then led police on a high-speed chase that ended with his arrest in a creek.

    Prosecutors have filed notice that they intend to seek the death penalty.

    Brownlow's attorney, Jack Stoffregen, did not immediately return a phone message.

    Charles Brownlow, Accused of Killing 5, Heads to Court

    The Kaufman County man accused of killing five people returned to court Friday.

    Charles Brownlow is accused of shooting five people in a daylong shooting spree in October 2013.

    A pretrial hearing was held Friday. During that hearing, Brownlow was indicted on four of the murders. Two of those murder charges were for the deaths of his mother and aunt.

    Brownlow plead not guilty to all of the charges.

    The judge explained that he could face the death penalty if convicted. State prosecutors said they had not yete decided if they were pursuing the death penalty.

    A DNA expert was questioned during the hearing about the need to test several pieces of evidence in the case.

    The defense had presented more than 80 items they wanted tested, including bullets and clothing.

    Brownlow's trial is expected to begin in April 2015. The next pretrial hearing is scheduled for July 16.

    After reading this scum's wrap sheet with all of his Agg assaults, Sexual assaults, and felon in possession of firearms, you would think he is the perfect candidate for the "Three Strikes and your Out Law". Too bad he wasn't. It could have saved five lives.
