A second man will face the death penalty if convicted for his role in the 2007 stabbing deaths of two College Park teenagers, officials said.
Two cousins, 13-year-old Chrisondra Sierra Kimble and 15-year-old Delarlonva “Del” Mattox Jr., were brutally stabbed to death after walking to a neighborhood store to buy snacks, Fulton County District Attorney Paul L. Howard, Jr. said.
Family members reported the teens missing April 5, 2007, after the pair never returned home.
After searching, Kimble’s mother found the teens' naked bodies the next day in a wooded area behind Bethune Elementary School in Fulton County, Howard said.
Investigators later arrested Jeremy Moody and William Felts in connection with the murders.
A jury for Felts was selected Feb. 8, Howard said.
He is charged with two counts of murder, two counts of felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault with intent to rob, two counts of kidnapping with bodily injury and one count of rape.
If convicted, the state has announced its intent to request the death penalty, Howard said.
Co-defendent Jeremy Moody in 2013 pleaded guilty to multiple counts of murder, aggravated assault, kidnapping with injury and aggravated assault with the intent to rob and rape in connection with the slayings.
Six charges – two each for murder, felony murder and kidnapping – carry maximum penalties of death by lethal injection and the jury for Moody found for death in each of the murder charges.
