Deputies said three people - Clinton Aiola, Cody Fuller and Davauntee Ramsay - lost their lives in a robbery gone wrong.

PAULDING COUNTY, Ga. — Three people were charged in connection with a robbery turned triple shooting that left three others dead last month in a Paulding County home, according to a release from the Paulding Sheriff's Office.

The Paulding County Sheriff's Office said deputies were called to 251 Chesapeake Way on March 21, around 10:49 p.m., by one of the victims. 

When deputies got to the home, they were told that there had been three men in the house at the time, when two other men came into the home. Investigators said the two other men were robbing the house and that "in the midst of the robbery, the three victims were shot."

The victims were Clinton Aiola, 42, Cody Fuller, 30 and Davauntee Ramsay, 30.

Deputies said one victim died at the house. Another victim died a few hours later in the hospital, and the last victim died days later at the hospital from a gunshot wound. 

According to the release, three arrests were made. Deputies said Carlos Favors-Battle, 26, and Justin Sims, 29, were the two men who came into the house. Another arrest was made for Bridgette Jones, 28, who officials said was in the area during the murders and knew about the crime.
