SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) - Two Chatham County men are awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to charges stemming from an armed carjacking in Savannah, while investigators are seeking the third defendant in the case.

Williams faces up to 65 years in prison, while Moss faces up to 10 years.

Instead, the three men robbed M.M. at gunpoint, taking his bag containing drugs, cash and a firearm, and then shot M.M. in the buttocks when he escaped. The defendants then stole M.M.’s vehicle and fled, leaving behind a pickup that had been rented by Williams.
