“The investigation determined the defendant was a backseat passenger in a motor vehicle in the gas station lot. The defendant exited the vehicle and fired numerous rounds at the vehicle’s driver, striking the driver and another backseat passenger,” the release stated.
The driver, identified as Gray, was struck multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The second shooting victim was a backseat passenger who was shot in the leg but recovered from his injuries.
Brooks was arrested at the shooting scene and has been held since March 27 in the Montgomery County Jail.
He will not be eligible for parole until he has served at least 18 years in prison. He also was ordered to pay nearly $10,000 in restitution.
