Description
Two men accused in the killing of a man and woman in Maple Valley last year are members of a white supremacist prison gang, court documents say.
Brandon Gerner and Joshua Jones were arrested earlier this month in connection to the killings of Robert Leroy Frederick Riley, 57, and Ashley Nicole Williams, 34. The two victims were found in the bushes on Nov. 16, 2023, under trash and debris near Southeast 252nd Street and 238th Avenue Southeast in Maple Valley.
Both Gerner and Jones are members of the Omerta White Supremacist Prison Gang, according to court documents. Gerner, who founded the group, is charged with first-degree murder and second-degree murder as well as first-degree animal cruelty and unlawful possession of a firearm. Jones is charged with two counts of first-degree felony rendering criminal assistance, as court documents say he was present during the killings but not directly involved, although he did assist in trying to hide the bodies.
