Rockdale County Sheriff’s investigators have arrested a 22-year-old Covington man in connection with the double murders—a woman and man whose bodies were found in a vehicle on a remote road in Conyers. Both of the 22-year-old victims were shot multiple times, authorities said.

Javon S. Price was charged with murder authorities and booked into the Rockdale County Jail on May 25.
