Rilonda Brooks Admits Brother Suspected in Murder | Baton Rouge News

Rilonda Brooks stunned the courtroom by admitting her brother David may have been involved in Herman Harris’s murder—while insisting she had no role in the crime. She revealed her business empire, inherited $4 million, and hired Harris before firing him after a heated confrontation. Prosecutors unveiled damning evidence: a text message with a map pin to Harris’s home and a coded message about a white truck, which Rilonda claims was meant to bribe Harris—or force him to return the truck if he refused. But investigators zeroed in on inconsistencies: why send a map pin if David lived nearby? And why delete texts? David’s security footage could be the key. Rilonda insists she was in Mississippi that night, missing calls from her brother. The trial will conclude Friday.
