Last month, Joshua Gutierrez, 17, of Gainesville, and Andre Marcus Brooks, 17, of Flowery Branch were arrested in connection with the robbery.
Deputies say Gutierrez, Brooks, Bautista-Gomez, and the victim knew each other.
According to the sheriff’s office, the suspects drove the victim to a home on Bradford Street Extension with the impression that they were going to a party.
Instead, deputies say the three suspects beat the victim with a baseball bat, stripped him of his clothing, robbed him, and fired a gunshot in his direction.
