A third suspect in the case, Kpadeh Jones, 19, of Lawrenceville, is charged with malice murder. It is unclear whether he was offered a settlement.

When Bryan and Richardson appeared in court, detectives said text messages showed that Bryan and Richardson were looking for someone to rob that night and that DeWitt was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Days before the murder, police said Bryan and Richardson approached DeWitt and his group of friends to ask if they could buy drugs from them.

They were approached by three people who asked the victim if they had marijuana they could purchase, a detective said.

The detective said there was an apparent drug deal on Oct. 3, but DeWitt was not involved.

“I wish we could say there was a fight or something like that, but he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Dawn DeWitt said.
