Family pleads for help finding suspects linked to Atlanta man's death
Atlanta Police need your help finding two suspects they say are linked to the death of a 48-year-old man. Investigators say Javon Brown went to confront two people appearing to break into his vehicle on January 17. During that confrontation on King George Lane in Southwest, police tell us shots were fired between all three. Officers say no one was hit, but Brown suffered a heart attack and died after going back into his home. 'My husband worked seven days a week, said Tasha Brown. 'He was a pipefitter; he worked six 10-hour days and eight hours on Sunday.' Channel 2's Cory James was there as his wife and daughter spoke at a news conference on Wednesday afternoon. Detective Cleo McCowan said little information is known about the case because there were no security cameras nearby. He is encouraging people to 'go out and get a ring camera' to help with similar investigations. Brown's daughter, Tyiaja Ofori-Atta, said 'Not only is this about getting justice for my father, but aside from that, it's about protecting the community.'

Man accused of causing crash that killed teen while running from several police agencies
An 18-year-old man accused of causing a crash that killed a 15-year-old boy while running from police is now facing charges. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck said Dominick Parlett, 18, of New Lebanon, was indicted on the following charges on Wednesday: One count of Aggravated Vehicular Homicide One count of Involuntary Manslaughter Three counts of Failure to Comply One count of Receiving Stolen Property – motor vehicle Two counts of Vehicular Assault The crash occurred at the intersection of Little Richmond Road and North Snyder Road on Nov. 19, 2024, after multiple police chases. Moraine police initially spotted a Ford Escape that had been stolen from Fairborn earlier that day.

Less than 10 minutes later, Miamisburg police spotted the same SUV and tried to stop it. However, the car took off again, and officers stopped the pursuit due to high speeds. Montgomery County Sheriff's deputies spotted the SUV a short time later in Jefferson Township and tried to pull it over. Parlett drove away from deputies and got it into the City of Trotwood before crashing. Parlett allegedly ran away from the scene of the crash, but was eventually arrested after a short chase. 15-year-old Jaden McClaskey was inside the SUV during the pursuits and crash. He was critically injured and died from his injuries two days later, according to Heck. Another juvenile inside the car was injured but survived. Days before the crash, Parlett was arrested for receiving stolen property after crashing a different stolen car, according to Heck. Montgomery County Jail records show that Parlett was booked into jail around 5 p.m. on Wednesday. 'Once again we see the tragic consequences that can happen when defendants flee from traffic stops. Pursuits are dangerous, not only to other drivers, but also the law enforcement officers and even to those fleeing. We need to put an end to this reckless behavior and there should be significant consequences for those who flee and fail to comply,' Heck said. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
