CLARKE COUNTY, Ga. — Two men have been convicted for their roles in the “gruesome” murders of three people in Athens.
According to court documents, Shabazz Larry Guidry, aka “Lil Larry,” 29, of Decatur, and Robert Maurice Carlisle, aka “Different,” 37, of Lithonia, were both sentenced after they pleaded guilty to Racketeer Influenced and Corruption Organization Conspiracy charges.
Prosecutors said Gangster Disciples member Walter Brown was murdered in Athens in 2018. Three co-conspirators who were found guilty and sentenced to prison in 2023.
Philmon Deshawn Chambers, Andrea Paige Browner, and Lesley Chappell Green believed three Athens residents were responsible and wanted to retaliate.
According to the investigation, Chambers fatally shot one of those people, Rodriquez Rucker, at his home, prosecutors said. Chambers and Browner fled to Texas, where Browner was arrested.
Chambers thought that someone must have been cooperating with law enforcement and decided Derrick Ruff and Joshua Jackson were “snitches.” He then directed Green to murder Ruff and Jackson.
Green lured Ruff and Jackson to break into local storage sheds to help Chambers, prosecutors said. Ruff and Jackson were shot to death in one of those storage units on Dec. 19, 2018 and not found until Mar. 17, 2019.
Court documents revealed messages between Chambers, Green, Carlisle and Guidry that showed they conspired to dispose of the victims’ bodies, which included potentially burning the bodies or dumping the bodies in a landfill. Law enforcement recovered the bodies and made arrests before these plans could be carried out.
Guidry was sentenced to 20 years in prison, followed by four years of supervised release. Carlisle was sentenced to 15 years in prison, followed by four years of supervised release.
