On June 26, Deputies got a call about a disturbance on Junction Road. A 911 caller told Davie County dispatchers that someone was shooting at her. That's when the dispatcher heard a "loud disturbance" over the phone, but no one responded to them.

When Deputies arrived at the home, they found Justin Dewayne Goodman, 29, dead in the front yard and a 23-year-old woman dead in the house. Two children were also found safe inside the home. 

Brooks is behind bars at the Davie County Detention Center without bond.
