CONYERS, Ga. Family members identified two of the three teens killed after authorities claim the teens were involved in an attempted armed robbery in Rockdale County early Monday morning.

The Rockdale County Sheriff's Office said the teens, two 16-year-old boys and a 15-year-old, were killed during an exchange of gunfire. A Sheriff's spokesman said late Monday afternoon that the teens were attempting to rob three people in the front yard of a home, and one of the teens opened fire on the alleged robbery victims.

The incident happened just after 4 a.m. off Flat Shoals Road on White Oak Court in Conyers.

Family members identified two of the teens killed as 16-year-old Isaiah Reid and his 15-year-old sibling Jaime Hernandez.

They was loving, they was brothers," said LaShawn Thornton, their aunt, Monday evening, speaking of how close they were to each other.

Rockdale County Sheriff Eric Levett told 11Alive News earlier Monday that the three teens had come to rob the homeowner and his family in the middle of the night.

When deputies arrived, they did find masks on the [faces of the deceased] young men," Sheriff Levett said.

The Sheriff's spokesman said late Monday afternoon that investigators had concluded that "the three now deceased individuals had their faces covered as they approached the residence and attempted to rob three individuals in the front yard. One of the attempted robbery suspects brandished a handgun and fired shots at the residents before one of the intended robbery victims returned fire. The victims of the attempted robbery were all uninjured, but the three attempted robbery suspects were all shot during the exchange of gunfire and succumbed to their injuries, one on scene and two at a local hospital after being transported."

The brothers' aunt, Thornton, said the family is aching for answers, wondering why the teens went out in the middle of the night wearing masks, wondering why they would have confronted the other family, wondering if the teens had been shot in the back as they were running away, wondering why the three members of the other family--the homeowner, his mother and one other person--were outside in their front yard at 4:00 a.m., wondering why the teens would have walked all the way down that street to the last house in the cul-de-sac, wondering what ballistics tests will show, anxious to get answers about everything.

"I hope that someone can come forward and let us know whats going on. Because this is, like, devastating to my family. There are three teens that are dead, now," she said. And we all loved them.

The homeowner, getting word to 11Alive through a neighbor, said he is not ready to comment.

The sheriff said his office is still investigating, to decide whether the homeowner will face any charges or if this will turn out to be a case of self-defense.

11Alive Legal Analyst Latonia Hines explained how the "stand your ground law" works.

"Basically what stand your ground allows for is that you can defend your habitation, property and others with possibly using deadly force," she said.

"It's going to require a lot of investigation here," she added. " You've got to look at the facts you've got to look at they're talking to the individual who did the shooting, you're also looking at the shell casings to figure out if this really matches what the witness statements are."

It does seem unusual that the homeowners were in the front yard at 4am, and that the robbers shot first yet were the only ones hit. Right now they're saying it was a robbery but I bet there's more to it than that

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Like if one of them were up at 4am, maybe they were coming home from work or going to an early work shift. Or maybe they just woke up in the middle of the night and needed to go for a walk or sit down outside for a bit. Sounds reasonable.

But for all three to be out there at that time of night? That does sound a bit strange off top. Unless they were all getting in late from a night of partying or something. It's just an odd detail....

Man, that sucks. The whole situation seems fishy. If it was self defense, fair, but I feel like there's more to the story.

hopefully it ends with no charges to the owner. he has a right to defend himself from any threat that comes into contact with him. kids just ended up on the losing side.

should've left that owner alone.

Nah. A drug deal would have been people exchanging money for drugs.

This seems like it might have been intended to be a drug deal, but the idiots with masks wanted to keep their money but have the drugs too (or the other way around).

Eh, when I've had get togethers or the firepit going it wasn't too unusual to sit out and just bullshit/drink into the early morning hours. So don't see this as too unusual.

Yep, not saying that there isn't a potential reasonable explanation for it. But just generally speaking, people are asleep at 4AM, especially on a Monday. A day when most people need to go to work.

Maybe they all just didn't like each other ?

Anyway, sometimes I need to be at work by 5AM.

Usually I'm up by 4AM and sometimes spend time outside with a hot cup and a cigarette.

I'm always expecting or assume that someone might try and sneak up on me and shoot me in the back of the head.

Helps me wake up faster.
