Stallings Business Owner Shot

Homicide investigators are still piecing together the events that led up to a fatal shooting Wednesday morning in Stallings, NC. The shooting happened near an auto shop on the 100 block of Sherin Lane. The murder victim, Chris Brynarski, 32, was a father of five children.

Stallings Police arrested Mark Stephen Thomas, 23, (L) and charged him with murder. Brynarski owned Union County Customs Auto Shop for about four years. Other workers and vendors were in the shop when the shooting happened and gave police some leads. Police found the two suspects around the corner on Highway-49 at the Waffle House. They also found their pickup truck with the suspected murder weapon inside.

This is the first homicide and the first fatal shooting the Stallings Police Department has ever had since it formed in 2003. Source: WCNC

This man killed my son Christopher Brynarsky. Chris has five young children and a wife. Mark Thomas is now free, his parents made his bail. They got him out the day of Chris's furneral. Mark Thomas is going around Charlotte bragging his parents are paying for his defense attorney and he will not do time for this hideous crime.
What do you think Charlotte, should this man be free? If you are outraged, as I am, write the Attorney General Roy Cooper.
Something is very wrong with a state that releases murderers back into your city.

Charlotte Chris brynarsky raised me pratically my whole life and even though i wasnt his real daughter he treated me as if i was and even after him and my mom divorced we still talked and he was always there for me i still call him dad.There is NO reason or excuse,mark Thomas should'nt be in jail he commited a murder! and has a record hes shouldnt be on the street how do you know hes not going to get mad at somebody eles and decide to go and shoot them.Mark thomas destroyed!!!! lives think about his six children who now have to grow up without there farther who they were all very attached to! Think about his poor wife who now has to raise her children alone, or his parents who have to live in sorrow. I hope mark thomas gets what he deservs he destroyed lives and broke hearts he should pay put him in JAIL!!!!!! He is not innocent and there is no excuse! dont the crime if u cant do the time he knew what he was doing and he should have to pay!

Please contact DC Customs at (704)-846-0722, speak to Dana about signing the petition to Review the bond. The petition will be taken to the DA of Union County 1-16-06. The media will cover this event. The first trial date is 1-4-06, if you wish to show support for Christopher Brynarsky, wear a white T-shirt, the media will be covering this event. Mark Stephen Thomas will be there. We want justice, Thomas should be in jail, not free. HIs parents should have to visit him in a cell. Thomas deserves death, but not according to the state of NC. If not death, then we want LIFE, no parole. Thomas took a life God created, his life for Chris's life, that is justice.
