A Navy veteran has been charged with kidnapping resulting in the death of a 19-year-old Virginia Beach college student and if convicted, he could face the death penalty.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a statement that Eric Brian Brown, 46, is accused of abducting 19-year-old Ashanti M. Billie in September 2017 on the Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story in Virginia. Brown then allegedly transported Billie against her will and across state lines to North Carolina. Billie died as a result of the kidnapping.
