DETROIT
(Tell Us

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.
