Ruff and Jackson were reported missing through the Athens-Clarke County Police Department in mid-December. They were last seen Dec. 18 at around 10 p.m. in a Ford Expedition. The Gwinnett County Police Department is actively investigating a double homicide in coordination with the FBI Safe Streets Task Force and the Athens-Clarke County Police Department.
The Ford Expedition was eventually found abandoned in a neighborhood off Monfort Road in unincorporated Lawrenceville on Dec. 21, 2018.
On Sunday, GCPD along with the FBI Safe Streets Task Force focused their efforts along an area of Lawrenceville Highway near Clearwater Place. Cadaver dogs with the Alpha Team K9 Search and Rescue were brought in to aid in the search. The dogs alerted to a storage unit inside the Extra Space Storage facility.
After the investigators assigned to the Homicide Unit opened the unit's garage door, the victims were found. It appears that they died of gunshots.
As more suspects are identified, additional people could be charged, police said. Also, as the investigation continues, Green and Carlisle could face more criminal charges.
