Slain couple: Briana Brooks, 21, died Thursday from injures sustained during a weekend kidnapping that resulted in the shooting death of her 24-year-old fiance, Jeronta Brown . Targeted: Brooks and Brown were returning to their home in Decatur, Georgia, August 30 when they were ambushed by masked men . The 21-year-old woman was seven months pregnant with the couple's second child, 11Alive Atlanta reported. Doctors at Grady Memorial Hospital were able to deliver her via C-section before taking the mother off life support. The couple's grieving relatives said that on August 30, Brooks and Brown took their infant and Jeronta's 14-year-old sister out to get some late-night dinner. When they returned home after midnight, they were allegedly ambushed by a group of masked men. The teenage girl with them was able to get away with Brooks' infant, but the couple were not as lucky. According to Brooks' aunt Myesha Brooks, after restraining the couple the abductors unsuccessfully tried to enter their family’s house by pretending to be FBI agents. The woman told WXIA that initially, Brown was able to escape but when he saw that his fiancee was not behind him, he came back for her. Growing family: The young couple, who were planning to get married soon, had an 8-month-old baby and another child on the way . Tragic end: four hours after their abduction, Brooks and Brown were found handcuffed and shot in the head in Atlanta . A short time after Brooks and Brown were pushed into the back of a brown van and whisked away, the man's mother and stepfather got a call demanding a $150,000 ransom. ‘These boys are not playing,’ Kawana Brown recalled her son telling her on the phone after she asked the kidnappers to speak to him. Jeronta Brown begged his mother to raise the money, and Mrs Brown promised to do all in her power to free him. Early Sunday morning, a motorist came upon the heavily pregnant woman and her fiance lying in the street in Atlanta with bullet wounds to the head. Brown was pronounced dead on the scene. In cold blood: Jeronta Brown died at the scene; his seventh-month pregnant fiancee was rushed to a hospital, where doctors were able to deliver her baby via C-section before taking her off life support . So far, no arrests have been made. Police are now trying to determine if the couple's abduction is related to another kidnapping that took place in the area Thursday. In the second case, the victim escaped unharmed. She was picked up in East Atlanta and found alive 18 hours later. Police say her abductors also issued a demand for ransom, according to Atlanta Journal Constitution. Investigators were quick to point out that they do not believe there is a kidnapping crew going around snatching people off the street at random. Jeronta Brown's stepfather Calvin Reddck suggested that the kidnappers might have learned about a large disability payment he had received. Brown's family are now offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to a conviction, CBS46 reported.
