Columbus, OH – The U.S. Marshals Southern Ohio Fugitive
Apprehension Strike Team arrested a Georgia man today on outstanding warrants
from Fulton County.
Deontae Brooks is wanted in Georgia on one count of murder,
one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a single count of
possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and one count of possession of a
firearm during the commission of a felony. The charges stem from a shooting
that occurred on 07/22/2015 in which Brooks allegedly opened fire on two men in
a home on Cedarhurst Way in Atlanta. One of the victims, Brandon Tinch, died
from his wounds.
Working closely with deputies of the Southeast Regional

located Brooks at Faith Mission located on Grant Avenue in Columbus. Brooks
surrendered to officers and was arrested without incident.
Peter C. Tobin, United States Marshal for the Southern
District of Ohio, said, “Today’s arrest is a another fine example of Deputy
Marshals from several states working together to bring an alleged murderer to
justice.”
