Deeper look into Brice Rhodes' 3 murder charges

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- It was one of the most gruesome and horrific murder cases we've followed this year.

The bodies of Louisville teenage brothers Larry Ordway and Maurice Gordon were found in an abandoned lot in West Louisville, detectives say the teens had been stabbed, tortured and set on fire.

Now we're getting an inside look from investigators who have charged an adult and two juveniles with murder.

911 caller, “It looks like they're deceased and they've been burned.”

That’s a snippet of a 911 call made by a woman who discovered a horrific sight.

Through the wooded area of abandoned homes in the 400 block of River Park in West Louisville, we see the horrifying images of two bodies, the view is from LMPD responding officer’s body cameras.

The area is where 14-year-old Larry Ordway and 16-year-old Maurice Gordon's bodies were found.

We've learned they were stabbed, tortured, burned and dumped back in May in the 400 block of River Park Drive.

“I need a lawyer man, if you're going to keep up all in my face, I don't what to say, I don't know what y’all are getting at or what's going on, I just need a lawyer,” says Brice Rhodes in a police interview.

Through hours of footage, detectives say Rhodes enlisted the help of Jacory Taylor and Anjuan Carter, both under 18 at the time, to help kill Gordon and Ordway.

LMPD says Rhodes killed the two brothers after they witnessed him shoot and kill 40-year-old Christopher Jones during Derby Week.

That is the third murder charge Rhodes is facing.

In the case involving Ordway and Gordon, there are three suspects, two victims and multiple accounts of what happened.

But this view is one we don’t see often, through the eyes of the men and women who protect and serve.

In addition to three charges of murder, Brice Rhodes has added charges of terroristic threatening for allegedly threatening a judge in September and intimidating a participant in the legal process.

Assault charges were added in October after Metro Corrections say he threw urine at a correctional officer and tried to assault another.

Rhodes is scheduled to be back in court Friday morning at 10.
