According to police documents, the victim -- Juan Casillas, of Concord, North Carolina -- was staying with four other men he was working with for Ogeechee Steel Inc. out of North Carolina. They had neighboring rooms at the Days Inn, off of U.S Highway 78.
One of the men, who has a Millen, Georgia, address, told police the gunmen knocked on his hotel-room door around 4:20 a.m. They showed a handgun, but then said “they weren’t looking for him” and proceeded to knock on the door of the room neighboring his.
That was the room where Casillas and another man were staying. The suspects took wallets, cash and ID cards, according to the warrants. They did the same in the next room, where a father and son were staying, and stole the son’s 1999 Lexus.
After robbing the father and son, the men returned to Casillas’s room and shot him in the head, according to police reports.
Police say the men ditched that Lexus at a Waffle House in Conyers and called for the Uber driver, who called 911 silently once while he was driving and answered a return call from police after he had dropped them off. Police responded to the Snellville home, on Newtons Court, where one of the suspects was arrested. The two others were apprehended shortly afterward.
The suspects are being charged with armed robbery and aggravated assault.
