Media still has not released a description of the shooter.



GMA, a very liberal show, said he was a dark skinned hispanic male yesterday on national TV.

I agree they usually avoid this when it is a minority and was shocked to see they didn't.

This really is a strange crime. The fact that there isn’t any footage is disturbing.

Ok so driver of the truck who is also the shooter remains at large. Was the other person in the truck dead or was he shot at the course too? Why the F would they drive on a golf course.

OK nvm so 2 others were dead in the bed of the truck. Good grief, this isnt your everyday crime.

Dark skinned Hispanic male? GMA seems to have questionable sauces.

Story just keeps getting stranger, at least based on what has been released so far.

Two victims in the truck were a 46 year old from Anaheim and a 76 year old from Topeka. Both were bound and gagged with duct tape.

No known connection between either of them and the golf course. No one knows why they were in Atlanta. N o known connection between them and the shooter.

But, the shooter had been on police radar since the day of the shooting.

More- he shot a guy three times in 2016 in a drug deal... he never should have been walking around today. This is going to blow up on the Fulton Co DA office, although the DA now is a different "better" DA than back then.

In 2016, Channel 2 Action News covered a shootout involving Rhoden at Georgia State University.

Police said Rhoden, 18 at the time, shot the driver of a Honda, 19-year-old Shelton Flournoy II, three times while attempting to sell him and a passenger drugs. Rhoden was shot once in the chest.

Weird, I would guess drugs or car jacking. Fricked up all around.

Makes you second guess going up to a car that has been in a wreck or something similar.

The full rap sheet and timeline on this guy... no way should he have been walking the streets...



quote:

Here’s what we know about the suspect:
1. Rhoden is 23 years old and from the Atlanta area

Bryan Rhoden grew up in the Smyrna area and was currently living in a high end high rise condo in Midtown. He attended Georgia State University. Rhoden is an up-and-coming rapper who goes by the name B Rod and has thousands of followers on his Instagram page. The manager listed on his Twitter profile confirms Rhoden, also known as B Rod, is his client. The manager adds that he is working on a statement to release.

2. Arrest warrants say Rhoden kidnapped and bound the victims in the truck.

Channel 2 obtained arrest warrants Friday that say Rhoden kidnapped Valdez and Pierson prior to killing them. He is accused of bounding their hands, legs and mouths with tape before shooting them. Rhoden was allegedly driving Pierson’s truck with Kansas license plates when he drove onto the 10th hole at Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw on Saturday.

3. Investigators are working to find a connection between Rhoden and the victims

Investigators have not said whether Rhoden had any connection to the victims found in the truck. In a news conference Thursday night, Cobb County police said they are working to They said they are positive he had no connection to Siller.

4. Rhoden was arrested hours after the murders on an unrelated charge

Within hours of the murder, Rhoden was arrested by the Chamblee Police Department on unrelated charges, including DUI, driving a vehicle without insurance, false identification and more. He bonded out of the DeKalb County Jail on those charges on Tuesday. Cobb County Police Chief Tim Cox did not comment on whether or not Rhoden had already been identified as a suspect at that time. He did, however, say that investigators developed Rhoden as a suspect within a few days of the crimes.

5. Rhoden was arrested in Chamblee Thursday in connection to the murders

Five days after the shooting, Bryan Rhoden was arrested in Chamblee with the help of the fugitive task force. He has been charged with three counts of felony murder, three counts of aggravated assault and two counts of kidnapping.

6. Rhoden has been in trouble with the law before

In 2016, Rhoden was arrested in another shooting in the parking lot of a residence hall at Georgia State University. Police said Rhoden, 18 at the time, shot the driver of a Honda, 19-year-old Shelton Flournoy II, three times while attempting to sell him and a passenger drugs. Rhoden was shot once in the chest. Georgia State police said they recovered a gun and large amount of marijuana from Rhoden’s backpack. Rhoden was a GSU student at the time and lived in the dorms on Piedmont Ave. The Fulton County District Attorney told Channel 2's Justin Gray the charges in that case are listed as “nolle prossequi,” which means the decision was made not to proceed with prosecution.

In 2020, Atlanta police seized more than $19,000 in suspected drug money from Rhoden at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport as he was boarding a plane to Los Angeles. According to court papers, another agency tipped them off about Rhoden’s suspected drug activity. K-9 units detected the smell of marijuana on the money. Rhoden allegedly punched a drug unit officer while trying to flee. He forfeited the money, but was never charged with a crime.

Rhoden was also arrested in Indiana last year for leading police on a high-speed chase that reached speeds of up to 150 miles an hour.

7. Rhoden will face a judge Friday night

Rhoden will go before a Cobb County judge at 8 p.m. Friday night. Channel 2'Action News will have LIVE coverage of the court hearing on WSBTV.com and the latest details on WSB Tonight at 11 p.m.

I wonder what would happen to someone who looks like you or me if we threw a punch at a DEA agent at the airport as they were confiscating our drug money.
