Troy Man Charged in Brundidge Gas Station Robbery-Homicide

Leon Terrell Flowers, 23, of Troy, has been arrested and charged in the robbery-homicide at the J&S Buy Rite gas station in Brundidge. He has been charged with Capital Murder and Robbery.

The incident occurred Wednesday, July 24 just after 6:00 a.m.

The clerk of the store, Neil Kumar, was fatally shot during the course of the store being robbed. Kumar, 30, was a graduate student at Troy University.

“It is so far-fetched for our town for something like this to happen. But thank goodness for all the agencies that responded to this. I think the citizens of Brundidge will rest a little more at ease than they would have the day before yesterday after hearing about this crime. So I think Brundidge is going to be okay,” Brundidge Police Chief Moses Davenport said.

Several members from various agencies have worked together on this case.

Flowers was on probation following another murder in 2015.
