11Alive<\/a>.<\/p>\nJones said Crawford then went to bed, and the following morning Crawford was not in the apartment. The front door was also locked supposedly.<\/p>\n
Following the arrests, police released that three days before Crawford went missing, she filed a police report against Brantley saying that he sexually assaulted her.<\/p>\n
In an already devastating case that continues to make headlines nationally, the latest details exposed a more gruesome take of the final moments of Crawford\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
Crawford was strangled and smothered to death with a plastic bag before her remains were placed in a plastic bin and later dumped in a park, according to Fulton County Superior Court documents released on Nov. 12.<\/p>\n
Authorities stated that Crawford and her roommate, Jones, were fighting in their off-campus apartment early Oct. 31 when Jones’ boyfriend, Brantley, intervened and choked Crawford until she died.<\/p>\n
The medical examiner listed her cause of death as asphyxiation.<\/p>\n
Several tweets and Instagram posts were made in regard to this horrific tragedy.<\/p>\n
@DemetriaLesterC tweeted, \u201cI can’t wait to see Jordyn Jones plead her pathetic case from prison while watching Alexis Crawford\u2019s documentary in a few years. She really murdered that girl and then had the nerve to post her missing flyer all over Instagram. SICKENING!\u201d<\/p>\n
@KillaJay_25\u2019s tweet went viral on the day the suspects were taken in to custody.<\/p>\n
He posted an image of Crawford pictured with Jones and friends that quoted, \u201cWatch the ones closest to you also. The world is just that cruel man.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Nov. 10, Clark Atlanta University’s president uploaded a letter to the parents on their school\u2019s social media outlets to release the news of their fallen CAU student.<\/p>\n
Later that night, hundreds of students came together for a candlelight vigil to mourn the loss of Crawford on their campus.<\/p>\n
Crawford was one of 10 children, and her family hosted Jones for Easter and Thanksgiving, a spokesperson of the family Rev. Markel Hutchins told the Atlanta Journal Constitution.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlexis often referred to Jordyn as her best friend,\u201d he said in the interview. \u201cThat makes the tragedy all the more difficult to understand and reconcile,\u201d Hutchins told the newspaper.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cThey knew Jordyn, they liked Jordyn. There was never a reason to suspect that Jordyn would do anything wrong or ill to Alexis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Crawford\u2019s funeral is set for Nov. 16 at 12 p.m. at Hill Chapel Baptist Church in Athens, Ga., where she was raised.<\/p>\n
