Brothers Asmerom and Tewodros Gebreselassie were convicted for the murders of three family members at the Mehari Thanksgiving in Oakland, Calif., in 2006, but Tewodros later had his conviction overthrown. The siblings, 53 and 44, went on trial for killing their sister-in-law Winta Mehari, 28, her mother Regbe Bahrengasi, 50, and her brother Yonas Mehari, 17, on Thanksgiving. The Gebreselassie brothers were seeking to avenge their brother Abraham’s death, whom they believed had been murdered by his wife, prosecutors said. However, a pathologist ruled that Abraham had died of natural causes. Tewodros called Asmerom from the Mehari Thanksgiving celebration and and opened the door for Asmerom to come into the apartment. Tewodros then kidnapped their infant nephew while Asmerom shot the three victims to death. In 2011, the brothers were sentenced to life in prison but Tewodros was released in 2016 after having his conviction overthrown and his prison sentence revised.

In a notorious Thanksgiving case, Byron David Smith lay in wait to shoot two teenagers to death in 2012.

Smith gunned them down as they entered his basement where he was waiting, after having allegedly observed them casing his place earlier. Though Smith claimed the "castle doctrine," which gives a person the right to defend his home, and told police he was worried that the kids were armed, the prosecution said the killings were premeditated. Also, a medical examiner said that Smith's first shots didn’t kill the two, but he continued to shoot them. Smith was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

Fishermen found Hollis' body on a cliff below the Pacific Coast Highway in Oxnard the next day. An analysis of public databases by Parabon NanoLabs Inc. led investigators to a relative of Brown.
