Gwinnett Brothers' Deaths Lead To Arrest, Felony Murder Charges

GWINNETT COUNTY, GA — A man charged with felony murder in connection with the deaths of two brothers in Lawrenceville was arrested Wednesday in DeKalb County.

Walter Hill, 28, is charged with two counts of aggravated assault in addition to double counts of felony murder. As of Thursday, Hill was being held without bond in the Gwinnett County Detention Center.

Hill was a family friend of Darius Myles and Christopher Smith, two brothers who both were found shot to death in a home on Oxford Hall Drive, on March 28, authorities said. Their mother, Tyreene Brown, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that she was the one who found them.

“This person (Hill) used to come to our house often, especially for Sunday dinner,” Brown said to the Atlanta newspaper.
