A man was found guilty of murder in the deaths of two brothers outside a Golden Corral restaurant in July 2013.
George Carter, Jr., 22, was found guilty on two counts of first degree murder, one count of armed robbery, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Carter met 24-year-old Andrew Bohannon and 19-year-old Matthew Bohannon at the restaurant on Normandy Boulevard nearly two years ago. The Bohannon brothers believed Carter and three other people were buying marijuana from them.
Once the brothers arrived in the parking lot, Carter got out of a car with a firearm. Seconds later, the Bohannon brothers were shot in the head by another man who was with Carter, according to prosecutors.
Carter faces life in prison without parole. He will be sentenced in early March.
Co-defendant Avery Wood’s trial ended in a hung jury. A new trial date has not been set.
Prosecutors said co-defendant Jalil Graves is the man who shot the Bohannons. He’s awaiting trial.
Steven Bennett pleaded guilty to two counts of second degree murder in the case. He is awaiting sentencing.
