Ellenton, Ga. – Authorities have linked a string of home invasions that left five Mexican immigrants dead with an armed robbery that occurred last month after reviewing descriptions of weapons used in the crimes.

Javier Guzman and Juventino Leon were assaulted in their trailer Sept. 13 by three men wielding chrome pistols and baseball bats, similar to the weapons used in the south Georgia slayings Friday.

At least two of the men killed early Friday in the attacks were shot. Others were beaten with aluminum baseball bats, said the director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Authorities suspect at least two men committed the attacks at four mobile-home parks and targeted Hispanics.
