Pair Benjamin Florence and Tyler Brown charged with felony murder in death during alleged home invasion

DeKalb County Police arrested two men and charged them with felony murder after another man allegedly participating in a home invasion was found shot to death.

The incident happened around 3:30 a.m. on October 10 as the three men were allegedly breaking into a townhome on Park Lane Drive near the campus of Georgia State's Perimeter College in Clarkston.

Police say a bullet grazed a female occupant's head during the incident. She escaped from the home and went to a Burger King location to call 911.

Police said when her boyfriend was taking her to the restaurant, they flagged down an ambulance. When DeKalb County Police arrived at the townhome, they found a man shot to death.

Benjamin Florence and Tyler Alexander Brown were taken into custody and charged with felony murder in the case.

According to Georgia law, felony murder happens when someone is killed during the commission of a felony, regardless of intent. Police say Florence and Brown were responsible for the man's death during the home invasion.

Both Florence and Brown are lodged in the DeKalb County Jail.
