Two adults and a teenager were arrested as suspects in the killing. They are Anthony Jermaine Fuller, 17; Justin Oneal Baughns, 22; and, Dwayne Tavares Myers, 30, a convicted felon.

The trio face numerious charges, including malice and felony murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. They are also charged with buglary in other incidents.

According to a story in the Athens Banner Herald, the three pleaded not guilty to the murder charges and others during a recent arraignment before Judge David Sweat. Law enforcement officials linked the three to burglaries they believe started on Nov. 23.
