2 arrested in robbery, killing of Phenix City AL man | Columbus Ledger-Enquirer (ledger-enquirer.com)
Anthony Wilborn stopped to help what he thought were two stranded motorists on Lonesome Pine Road in Phenix City before the men overpowered him and shot him dead, thinking he carried a lot of cash to pay for a new home he was building, investigators said.
[...]
Because the body had been there nine days, it was badly decomposed, leaving investigators with few clues to go on and many unanswered questions.
DNA evidence and a lot of hard work changed all that, Taylor said during a morning news conference where he announced two suspects had been arrested on capital murder charges.
He identified the two as Gary Cochran, 46, who was arrested at 10:50 a.m. Nov. 25, and Juavon Marquise Williams, 26, arrested around 7 p.m. that same day. Both are from Phenix City, Taylor said.
[...]
Wilborn and the two suspects were acquainted, and he likely recognized them when they flagged him down on Lonesome Pine Road and asked whether he could help them jump their car off.
“When he got out of the car and started to try to help them is when we believe that they got into a struggle, and Anthony fought back as good as he could, and they overcame him,” the sheriff said.
Whether Wilborn was shot there or somewhere else was unclear, he said.
[...]
DNA analysis of that evidence led to the arrests, he added: “DNA was crucial to our being able to solve this case.” Authorities also have seized the car they believe was used to take Wilborn from Lonesome Pine Road to the creek in the rural area outside Hatchechubbee, a gray Nissan Sentra that Williams had borrowed, he said.

Two Russell Co. suspects face Capital Murder charges after man found dead in Hatchechubbee creek | WRBL
Taylor said Gary Cochran, 46, and Juavon Williams, 26, were arrested Wednesday night, just short of a month since Wilborn’s badly decomposed body was pulled from a creek in Hatchechubbe.
[...]
Sheriff Taylor said the investigation indicates Cochran and Williams pretended to be broken down on Lonesome Pine Rd. the morning of October 21st. Authorities believe Wilborn saw the two on the roadside, pulled over to offer them a jump and that’s when they attacked him, Taylor said.
[...]
Taylor said the investigation revealed Wilborn knew the two suspects, but had no apparent close ties to either man.
Family needs closure, Anthony deserves justice, sheriff says

I'm so glad they found the perpetrators, I was very worried there wouldn't be any compelling evidence i.e. DNA.
The story seems odd to me; so the guys know Anthony, they know he's building a new house, I guess they were targeting him specifically so they knew it would be Anthony that would be driving on that road at that hour and would be kind enough to pull over? Or were they looking to rob a random person, but recognized Anthony when he pulled over and realized that he might have a large amount of cash on him? Senseless violence, just for some cash that he may not even have. Hope they throw the book at these two.
