ATLANTA—Police say the suspect accused of killing two teenagers near Atlanta stole the girl’s wallet and the boy’s car jumper cables after he killed both with gunshots to the head.
The details are contained in arrest warrants filed in the municipal court of Roswell, Georgia, an Atlanta suburb.
The warrants say 20-year-old Jeffrey Hazelwood followed 17-year-olds Natalie Henderson and Carter Davis into an alley behind a Publix grocery store before shooting each teenager once in the head Aug. 1.
Hazelwood is charged with murder and theft. Police have declined to discuss a possible motive for the slayings.
Hazelwood’s attorney, Lawrence Zimmerman, has said he will provide a vigorous defense.
Henderson and Davis, who used to live in Rapid City, South Dakota, would have been high school seniors this year.
Court documents said that Hazelwood followed Davis and Henderson around before he approached them behind a grocery store and killed them, 11 Alive reported. He apparently used Henderson’s debit card to purchase gas after the murders.
The arrest warrants also showed that he stole jumper cables from Davis.
“I think it’s absolutely horrible that it happened to two 17-year-olds,” Star Hollon, manager of the gas station, told the station. “Honestly, it hit really close to home.”
