Georgia Man Kills Daughter and Her Mother Before Killing Himself
Authorities in Georgia are investigating after a double murder-suicide left 1-year-old Jaquari Bennett and both of her parents dead.
Authorities were dispatched to a home in Covington, Georgia, at approximately 11:15 p.m. on Saturday evening. Upon arrival, they found Jaquari’s mother, 38-year-old Keshawn Washington, shot to death.
Washington’s mother was also wounded and remains in critical condition according to People. Two other children were in the home at the time of the shooting, but neither were hurt.
Washington’s mother told police the baby’s father, 38-year-old Darian Bennett had kidnapped 1-year-old Jaquari. An Amber Alert was sent out by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation looking for Jaquari, describing the black Honda Civic Darian Bennett was last seen in.
On Sunday morning, police in Riverdale, Georgia received a 911 call from Darian Bennett saying he was going to take his own life. Authorities rushed to the scene and heard gunfire as they arrived. The bodies of Darian and Jaquari Bennett were later found inside the church, per NBC 2 Fort Myers.
