Family and friends of Abreeya Brown and Ashley Conaway say goodbye at homegoing

DETROIT (Tell Us Det) - Abreeya Brown, 18, and Ashley Conaway, 22, together were remembered at a joint funeral Monday on Detroit's eastside. The funeral was held at Solomon's Temple, following a family hour. Both were buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in Detroit.

The bodies of Brown and Conaway were found near a park area in a shallow grave on the city’s west side on March 25. Brown and Conaway were abducted Feb. 28 from in front of the home they shared with Brown's family. The two women were bound and gagged and died of a single gunshot wound to the head, according to a spokeswoman for the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Witnesses say Abreeya Brown, 18, and Ashley Conaway, 21, were kidnapped and forced into a car trunk Feb. 28 by two armed men outside their home in Hamtramck, an enclave surrounded by Detroit. Brown's stepfather, Charles McGinnis, told police he exchanged gunfire with the captors.

Relatives said one of the women was able to send text messages for a short time from inside the trunk, but the women had not been heard from since then.

No one has been charged in the disappearance and deaths of Brown and Conaway.
