Authorities have charged a man with murder in connection with the deaths of two men whose bodies were found along the Belt Parkway last week.

Investigators say Rogelio Rodriguez, 34, and three other men shot and stabbed Rudy Superville and Gary Lopez after finding out the two were planning to rob Rodriguez's home.

Authorities say Superville went to the Bushwick house, where he found Rodriguez and the others waiting for him.

They allegedly forced him to lure Lopez to the home, where he, too, was attacked, according to investigators.

Firefighters discovered the bodies on March 6 while putting out a brush fire in Howard Beach.

If convicted, Rodriguez could face 25 years to life in prison.

Investigators are still searching for the other suspects.

Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.
