An Ohio man wanted for the murder of a 77-year-old woman was shot by a man defending his family during a home invasion on Thursday, according to the Fayette County Sheriff's Office.
Michael James Brooks II, of Columbus, Ohio, was hospitalized Friday for injuries sustained during the home invasion. When he is released from medical care, he will face charges for burglary, home invasion and theft by receiving in Georgia and murder charges in Ohio, police said.
Investigators said Brooks has an extensive criminal history. He is wanted in connection with the fatal stabbing of Emily Foster, which occurred on September 9, 2023, in Columbus, Ohio, and also for the carjacking of a red Ford F-150 truck in Kettering, Ohio, which was later found outside the burglarized home in Georgia.

I love a happy ending!
“When he is released from medical care, he will face charges for burglary, home invasion and theft”
Yet again, FINISH THE JOB, assuming that you don’t have any ‘smart’ devices that may squeal on you.
(carjacking)
He listens to rap?
It’s the second best ending.
The best one would have required the morgue, not the hospital.
He looks scary enough to shoot multiple times. I don’t think I could shoot him just once.

Once again
“He’s still basically a good boy.”

Anyone who you have justification to shoot, should be shot until he goes down.
**SNIP**
Deputies were less than three minutes away. Police told FOX 5 Atlanta that the homeowner was armed with a gun and confronted the intruder, who was wielding a knife, in his basement.
The homeowner reportedly warned the suspect before shooting him. Police said the homeowner then left the basement and took up a defensive position on the second-floor staircase to protect his family.
“There, he took his stand as the subject made his way up to the second floor. [He] made the comment, something to the effect of, ‘You’re going to have to kill me,’ when the resident fired a second shot. That was about the time the deputies got there. From we can tell, he was coming down the stairway with a second gunshot wound,” said Fayette County Sheriff Barry Babb. “At that point, they actually still struggled with him [as they] took him into custody.”
The suspect was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital with two gunshot wounds, FOX 5 reported.
RE: has an extensive criminal history.
When I was hiring people at the library there were varying types of information asked and others prohibited from year to year.
One period the form asked “Have you ever been arrested?”
One guy answered “Yes. All of them misdemeanors. No felonies. No convictions.”
“My baby ain’t done never hurt nobody.”
Technically part of the Atlanta metro area (MSA), so maybe not so small, albeit on the outskirts. But GA still believes in self defense, stand your ground and castle laws, etc.
Amen.
If a home owner in Ohio did that would they be in jail.
Ha.
Danny Reagan to suspect on Blue Bloods:
“So if you didn’t do nothing that means you did something, right? Or else learn grammar.”
Ma baby dindu nuffins.
It would have been happier if the perp didn’t make it
I’m guessing that the home owner wasn’t armed with a .45 ACP.
He’s still alive, so, every silver lining has a touch of grey.
