Multiple people we spoke to told us that Brian and Jada fought, often, including his brother Fednal.
Did you ever think it got physical?
Brian's family didn't approve of Jada.
And it seems that Jada's family didn't approve of Brian either.
Fednal told us that at one point in the spring of 2006, Brian received a threatening phone call from a member of Jada's family.
Brian's sister, Renette, remembered Brian didn't want to sleep at his apartment after getting that call.
So he spent the night at her house, and he brought his guns.
I don't think he slept that night.
The police did look into a phone call from Jada's family.
They found that in the spring of 2006, Jada had spoken to her father, Jerry, while he was in prison.
Jada told her father that Brian had broken up with her because he suspected her of cheating on him and that he was talking trash about her.
Jerry told police that he then called Brian from prison to warn him not to speak disrespectfully about his daughter.
The conversation with Jerry led detectives to Jada's twin brother, Jerome.
Jerome Brody had been in and out of jail for various offenses, including unlawful possession of a firearm.
And his father said that Jerome would have killed anyone who messed with the family.
When I talked to Zopound founder Ali Adam, he told us he thought Jerome could be connected to the fight in the nightclub.
Was Jerome with one of these rival gangs?
The police report said that the people they were fighting with might have been members of the West Side Boys.
Would that have been the gang he would have been tied to?
