Brookwood Double-Murder Suspect Charged in Third Killing

De’Kendrick Crawford, 24, who is already charged in the July killings of two people in Brookwood, has been charged with a third murder after skeletal remains were found in a wooded area behind River Road Apartments in Tuscaloosa. Investigators say witnesses reported that Crawford had described killing another man before the Brookwood killings; detectives compared their accounts with digital evidence to locate the concealed remains. The victim has not been identified and is believed to be a Black man between 40 and 70 who may have had a Chevrolet Cruze and frequented 10th Avenue Apartments; Crawford denied involvement, and authorities are asking the public for information as forensic testing continues.
