Man suspected of killing 5, in Georgia found dead,
Columbia County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Andy Shedd said the body of the suspect, previously identified as Wayne Anthony Hawes, was recovered from the suspect’s burning home, according to WRDW.
Shedd said the Friday night shootings stem from a domestic dispute that left three men and two females dead. WRDW reported that Hawes snapped when he learned his wife was divorcing him.
Columbia County Coroner Vernon Collins said three people were shot at one location in Appling, two of whom died at the scene; a third died at the hospital. He said two other people were shot and killed at another location about a mile away.
The victims were identified early Saturday as 75-year-old Roosevelt Burns, 85-year-old Rheba Mae Dent, 31-year-old Kelia Clark, 59-year-old Lizzy Williams and 62-year-old Shelly Williams.
