Arrest and Charges
Police have arrested three teenagers in connection with a series of robberies and a murder that occurred within a day and a half. The suspects appeared in court today, with one teen appearing particularly shocked upon hearing the charges against her.
Incident Details
A man reported being robbed at gunpoint by two teenagers while walking between hotels on Celebration Drive. The robbery occurred after a teenage girl approached him asking for a phone charger. When he said no, another teen appeared with a gun and robbed him of all his belongings. Police believe these same teens, along with a third accomplice, killed a man just five hours earlier.
Court Appearance
In court, the teenage girl, identified as Fernandchitorius, seemed stunned when her charges, including three counts of armed robbery and one count of felony murder, were read out. She glared at her co-defendants, Nicholas Evans and Khalil Miller, as the severity of the situation sank in. Miller also appeared surprised by a second armed robbery charge, while Evans had a more resigned demeanor by the time his charges were read.
Victim and Community Reaction
The three teens are accused of murdering William Tunches near a trail off North Cliff Drive during what police believe was a 30-hour crime spree. Tunches’ family and church community recently gathered to celebrate his life, remembering him for his contributions to the Gwinnett County congregation where he played piano.
Investigation Findings
Investigators are still uncertain about the connection between Tunches and the three teens, as Tunches had no known ties to the neighborhood where he was killed. However, suspect Nicholas Evans lived nearby, and all three suspects were identified at the scene. Court documents reveal that Evans is accused of being the trigger man, while Torres allegedly lured the victims.
Conclusion
The arrests bring some relief to Tunches’ family and friends, but the investigation continues as authorities work to piece together the full story behind the tragic events.
