On April 3, 2004, Alonzo Brooks left his home in Gardner where he lived with his mother to attend a party in Linn County, Kansas. His mother never spoke to him again.
In the early morning hours, Alonzo was attacked and murdered by a group of local men who were deeply racist, known to commit hate crimes, and angry that a white girl at the party had been spending time with Alonzo.
Law enforcement actively covered up this crime and nearly 22 years later not a single person has ever been held accountable. But that’s about to change. In Kansas, we have a statute that allows a citizen to collect signatures and empanel THEIR OWN GRAND JURY to investigate ANY CRIME. So I have begun the process of empaneling a grand jury to bring charges!
After gathering less than 200 signed petitions and submitting them to the chief judge, the district court will be required to empanel my grand jury to investigate this hate crime murder. I will then start the process of presenting my case to the grand jury. After a nearly decades long investigation, my case is airtight. It’s not hard to prosecute people who think they’re protected.
In this case, the responsible parties have bragged loudly and openly about Alonzo’s horrific murder to anyone who would listen for the last 22 years. That’s what you can do when powerful people are protecting you. But now, all of those people will be called to testify in front of a grand jury.
There are recorded confessions. Written confessions. Confessions on social media. Group text confessions. Public confessions. Confessions to the police. AND MUCH MORE.
200 signatures before the 22-year anniversary on April 3, 2026, is my goal. Please help me by sharing this far and wide. Please tell people they can reach out to me directly with additional information they have about this case. My cell number is on the grand jury petition. And finally, if you are from Linn County, please print and sign the petition and return it to me. My email is [email protected]. I have placed a printable version in the comments.
22 years is way too long. Let’s make 2026 the year Alonzo Brooks and his killers get the justice they both deserve. 💯
