Rapper who 'shot golf pro Gene Siller dead at Georgia country club had bound and gagged two others with tape in truck'

A RAPPER accused of shooting a golf pro dead on a Georgia country club course had bound and gagged two other victims in a truck, an arrest warrant revealed Friday.

Bryan Anthony Rhoden, 23, was arrested and charged on Thursday for the three murders following a five day police search.



Rhoden reportedly shot Siller, 46, on the golf course of a Georgia country club near the 10th hole.

Police made the grisly discovery of two additional bodies, bound and gagged with duct tape, in the back of the white Ram 3500 pickup that Rhoden left on the golf course, according to an arrest warrant obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Cobb County Police believe the two victims were already dead when the truck was driven onto the course.

The victims have been identified as Henry Valdez, 46, of California and Paul Pierson, 76, of Kansas, the owner of the truck.

Piersen is listed as the owner Eco Environmental Remediation Services in Nevada and was reportedly in Georgia for business, Daily Mail reports.

Jail records obtained by FOX5 show that Rhoden was arrested for DUI, providing false ID and other vehicle and traffic charges just hours before the bodies were found in the abandoned truck.



Cobb County Police Chief Tim Cox said during a press conference on Thursday said that Rhoden will face three counts of murder, three counts of aggravated assault, and two counts of kidnapping.

He was booked into DeKalb County jail just before 2am on Sunday morning, and was released on bond just two days later.

Police believe that Siller was not an intended victim, and was killed after he witnessed another crime.

Rhoden, the alleged killer, is an aspiring rapper who performs under the name B Rod, his manager confirmed to FOX5 today.

He has over 18,000 followers on Instagram and recently released a mixtape called "Made It Out."


Police have not yet established a motive for the crime and are still investigating.

"As this remains an active case and investigation, we will be limited on the amount of information or details we can release," Cox said.

"But with the suspect in custody, our investigation will continue to work the case to its completion and move it forward to the Cobb County District Attorney's Office for prosecution."
