Three more teens have been charged in relation to the shooting death of a 21-year-old Cleveland, Ga., man earlier this month.

The White County Sheriff’s Department told the Gainesville Times that Chase Wilson, 19, Conner Daniel, 18, and an unnamed 16-year-old were charged with entering a vehicle and violating the Georgia Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act. Law enforcement believes they broke into a car and stole the gun used to kill Savon Williams a few days before the July 1 incident.

The three were allegedly members of a gang called BTA, or Bout That Action. Christopher Courville 17, who was charged with Williams' murder last week, was also an alleged BTA member.
