LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Police have charged a man and a juvenile in connection to the killing of two teens found in Louisville’s Shawnee neighborhood.
Louisville Metro Police Lt. Todd Kessinger tells local media that 25-year-old Brice Rhoades and a juvenile have both been arrested and charged in connection to the killings. Rhoades faces murder charges for the homicides.
The Coroner’s Office says the bodies of 16-year-old Maurice Gordon and 14-year-old Larry Ordway were found dead with multiple stab wounds and badly burned in the backyard of a vacant home. The victims were brothers. Authorities believe the boys were killed at a different location and then moved to the vacant home.
Kessinger says the two boys knew Rhoades. He declined to comment on possible motive.
It’s unclear if Rhoades has an attorney.
