2 Atlanta Teens Juarquez Jones, Ladarrius Jones Sentenced to Life for Killings

ATLANTA - Two Atlanta teens have been sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of shooting and killing two bystanders while they targeted others.

Prosecutors say the mother of one of the suspects set off a feud when she alleged on Facebook that her son's girlfriend was cheating on him. The Atlanta Joual-Constitution reports that the mother also threatened the girl, a member of the gang Young Crew.

Authorities say Juarquez Jones and Ladarrius Jones, both members of the Bluff Gang, targeted four females belonging to the Young Crew but instead shot and killed 25-year-old Thaddeus Nelson and 27-year-old Randy Wilder on Sept. 14, 2010.

Both defendants were found guilty of two counts of murder, felony murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
