While Madison was a brilliant student at Louisiana State University and a member of the Alpha Phi Sorority, her life was cut short after a brutal assault.
Before her death, Madison was reportedly raped by at least two men in the presence of two others after leaving a bar. They then threw her out, leaving her to wander the streets until she was fatally struck by a car.
Despite the tragedy, Madison’s family has remained steadfast in their pursuit of justice for their daughter. LSU and the community have also expressed their grief and outrage, calling for action to prevent similar tragedies from happening in the future.

“Madison was a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, a niece, a classmate, and a friend to many of you. By all accounts, she was an amazing young woman with limitless potential. She should not have been taken from us in this way. What happened to her was evil, and our legal system will parcel justice. Our collective grief and outrage cannot be put into mere words. So what can we do? It is time for action. One place to target our attention is where this encounter began.”
She is survived by her whole family, including her parents Ashley and John Brooks; her siblings, Aiden Baustert, Kaelyn Baustert, and Brady Baustert; and grant parents, Merida, and Sam Brooks.
Madison’s murderers arrested
Madison Brooks’ demise was a tragedy that shook the community. After an extensive investigation, four teenage suspects were charged with rape and murder -Kaivon Deondre Washington, aged 14 at the time; a 17-year-old boy; 18-year-old Casen Carver; and 28-year-old Everette Lee.
