Bryan Rhoden was arrested July 8 in Chamblee, Georgia in DeKalb County and charged with three counts of murder, three counts of aggravated assault and two counts of kidnapping for the triple homicide that occurred July 2, according to police.
Rhoden, 23, is charged with shooting Gene Siller, 41, the golf pro at Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw, Georgia, and two other men. Siller was found dead at the near the No. 10 green at Pinetree, when he responded to calls about a pickup truck on the golf course. Police later found the Dodge pickup on the Pinetree property with the bodies of two other men, including the truck's owner, in the truck bed.
The two other victims have been identified as Henry Valdez, 46, of Anaheim, California, and Paul Pierson, 76, of Topeka, Kansas, who owned the truck, according to Cobb County Sheriff's officials. The men appeared to have no connection to the country club.
Records in DeKalb County show that Rhoden was arrested July 2, the same day of the shooting, and charged with driving under the influence and several other charges unrelated to the shooting. He was released July 6 and arrested two days later on murder charges.
Rhoden has a history of violent crime, according to police. He was arrested in 2016 and charged with assault, attempted murder and possessing a firearm on campus when he was involved in a drug deal gone bad at Georgia State University, where he was a student at the time, police said.
Pinetree, a Chick Adams design, opened in 1962. Georgia native Larry Nelson was an assistant pro there before embarking on a Hall of Fame PGA Tour career.
