Two brothers, their mom and her boyfriend were charged this week in the deaths of two black men whose bodies were dismembered, chained to cinder blocks and dumped in an Oklahoma City pond after a gun sale gone bad, officials said.

Alize Smith, also known as “Gutta Twin,” and Jarron Moreland, nicknamed “400,” both 21, were found on April 18 after being reported missing four days earlier. Because the two men were black and all four suspects are white, the deaths received attention from activists on social media with some comparing the murders to lynchings. The prosecutor handling the case said Thursday, however, the killings are not believed to be racially motivated.

“We definitely explored that, and the evidence absolutely shows that this was not racially motivated,” Cleveland County prosecutor Greg Mashburn said.
