DeKalb County sheriff elect Derwin Brown was gunned down in his own driveway on a fog-shrouded, rainy night shortly before Christmas. He had recently informed 38 people that they would be losing their jobs in Brown's effort to clean up the department. Police suspected four men of the crime, including the man Brown was set to replace, David Ramsey.
