SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Around dinner time Wednesday, Francis Stoughtenger home smelled of a fresh meal. It was an ordinary evening after nights of havoc. 

"No way, not Ronny. No way! But most of them are the same of me. Ronny is a victim of stupidity, of stupid moves like that one right there. It's a stupid thing to do," said Stoughtenger.

Ronald Green is accused of being the getaway driver for William Wood Jr., the man accused of shooting two people dead at a DeWitt Chili's Saturday morning. 

What does Stoughtenger believe happened? 

"Exactly like I said, he got a phone call, 'Hey, want to make a few bucks?' Pew ding-ding, ricochette rabbit, here comes Running Ronny. He's out the gate," said Stoughtenger.

One of three alleged co-conspirators in the double-homicide, Green is also accused of bringing his 2-year-old along for the ride. Neighbor, friend and fellow recovering addict -- Stoughtenger says he knew Green to be on the track to getting clean. Though he says he believes Green was giving "rides" for profit to people, specifically during the night. He doesn't know Wood and is unsure how Green does.

"You don't see it in your backyard or your front yard let alone," said Stoughtenger. 

Nearly 10 miles away on the Northside of the city, two others were arrested in relation to the murders. Mother and son, Tracy and Ryan Brown, were arrested at their home. 

The 30-year-old son is accused of being the getaway ride from DeWitt and Fulton and lying to police. His mother accused of giving Wood the gun he would use to kill two people. 

Ryan Brown's father Willie Brown says his son allowed Wood to stay at the house a few times. Though he didn't want to speak on camera, he described his son as someone who "got into some stuff," but was working and a "good kid."

He says Tracy Brown has been bed ridden for 10 to 15 years, describing her physical and mental condition as deteriorating. 

Neighbors say they saw Wood frequent the house for the four months prior to the murders. 

Stoughtenger plans to visit Green at the Onondaga County Justice Center. He says he is in awe of the heinous mistake made by his friend who he says made some bad, selfish decisions. 

"I will go tomorrow and pray with him," said Stoughtenger. "I pray the Lord will protect him and all the families, this suffering goes far greater what are eyes and fingers feel. Many, many people are suffering for the losses of all of them. Generations, generations and grandchildren aren't going to know these people because stupid moves."
