Terrell, TX — A man suspected of shooting to death his mother, aunt and three others in four locations was charged with murder on Tuesday, Oct. 29, after a manhunt and high-speed car chase through the Texas town of Terrell, law enforcement authorities said.
Charles Everett Brownlow, Jr., 36, was captured in a wooded area about 1:30 a.m. local time, according to Terrell Police Department. Terrell, a town of 16,000, is about 30 miles east of Dallas.
Brownlow has been charged with one count of capital murder and one count of evading arrest in a vehicle and more charges are expected. Police said they had no motive for the shooting spree that left victims in three homes and a convenience store dead.
Brownlow had a history of criminal behavior and had been released from prison in the last few months, according to Raylanette Brown, who said she is the maternal grandmother of a 15-year-old daughter of Brownlow. She said her granddaughter and Brownlow’s mother, with whom he lived, were afraid of him.
Brown said Brownlow had called family members on Monday, telling them he was going to kill.
