ALONZO BROOKS DEATH RULED HOMICIDE 17 YEARS AFTER FOUND IN A CREEK

Alonzo Tyree Brooks was born on May 21, 1980, to Billy Brooks Sr. and Maria Ramirez. A native of Topeka, Kansas, Alonzo was of African American and Mexican descent.
At the time of his disappearance, he was 23 years old and was working as a custodian for Countryside Maintenance in Gardner, Kansas.
On April 3, 2004, Alonzo Brooks traveled with three friends, including Justin Sprague, to a party in La Cygne, approximately 50 miles (80 km) south of Gardner.
While at the party, racial words were allegedly aimed towardS Alonzo, possibly to ignite tension between him and the other individuals. As the party continued, Alonzo's friends left La Cygne without him, due to a misunderstanding on how he would be returning home to Gardner.

He never returned back home.

Following the night of the party, the Brooks family traveled to La Cygne to search for their son and contact the local authorities. Eventually, the Linn County Police Department turned the case over to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation after failing to locate Alonzo Brooks. Both the KBI and FBI were unsuccessful in locating him.
On May 1, 2004, the Brooks family was allowed to search the property for their son. On the first day of the search effort, Alonzo's body was found on the banks of Middle Creek , adjacent to the house where he was last seen a month earlier.
