Two people, including a teenager, have been charged with two counts of murder after two men were found shot to death inside a home near Newnan, the Coweta County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday.

According to Channel 2 Action News, Kenya Nneaka Sewell, 26, and Jarico Deshun Brown, 18, were arrested Monday night, hours after Wesley Watson and Alen Michel Cantrell were found inside a home in the 300 block of Widgeon Drive. The house is located in the Beverly Parks subdivision off Millard Farmer Road.

Watson, 26, and Cantrell, 20, may have been killed hours earlier, the sheriff’s office said Monday.

While the investigation is ongoing, Coweta Sheriff Mike Yeager said Tuesday the motive could possibly be theft.
