Triple Murder Shocks Lawrenceville Community

On November 21, 2020, a quiet neighborhood in Lawrenceville, Georgia, became the scene of a horrific crime that would lead to Justice Lusk’s lifelong incarceration. Lusk, now 25, was convicted of brutally murdering Bob Caverly, 64; Steven Andrew Finch, 33; and Eugene McClam, 45, during what prosecutors described as a drug theft gone wrong.

The incident occurred near Caverly’s home on Creek Water Court, leaving the community in shock. Gwinnett County officials conducted a meticulous investigation, piecing together the events that led to the tragic deaths of three men and the subsequent capture of their killer.

Damning Evidence Seals Lusk’s Fate

Lusk’s attempts to cover his tracks proved futile as investigators uncovered a trail of evidence linking him to the crime. Witnesses reported seeing Lusk fleeing the scene with a bookbag and blanket, which he later stashed in a crawl space at a nearby residence. This critical error led to the discovery of an AK-47, a handgun, muddied clothing, and a large quantity of drugs – all key pieces of evidence in the case against him.

Investigators utilized modern technology to build their case, including Uber ride information and cell phone records that placed Lusk at the scene of the crime. These digital breadcrumbs proved instrumental in refuting Lusk’s claim of self-defense and establishing his intent to rob the victims.

Justice Served: Lusk’s Failed Escape and Conviction

Lusk’s attempt to flee the scene using ride-sharing services backfired spectacularly. After booking an Uber to arrive at the location, he tried to escape using Lyft but was denied service, forcing him to flee into the woods. This desperate act ultimately led to his apprehension as a passenger in a vehicle near the location where he had hidden the evidence.

The trial concluded with Lusk being found guilty on multiple charges, including three counts each of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during a felony. The severity of the crimes and the overwhelming evidence led to Lusk’s sentencing of three consecutive life terms plus five years, all without the possibility of parole.

The case, prosecuted by Gwinnett County Assistant District Attorneys Michele Sims and Diamond Johnson, with assistance from DA’s Investigators and Gwinnett County Police, stands as a testament to the commitment of local law enforcement to bring violent criminals to justice and provide closure for the victims’ families.
