Video shows LSU student Madison Brooks leaving bar with young men accused of raping her before death

The video first shows four people walking across the street toward a parking lot. Sources told WAFB that Brooks then crosses to catch up with them.
Brooks had been drinking at an off-campus bar, where she met a 17-year-old, and left with him and the three other suspects. Brooks had reportedly asked them to take her home because she was too drunk and couldn't find her friends. Authorities say she was raped in the back of the car.
