TALIAFERRO COUNTY, Ga. (WJBF) – A man wanted for two homicides in Florida was taken into custody in Taliaferro County, Friday.

The Taliaferro County Sheriff’s Office was alerted to reports regarding an unusual individual seen on the highway’s shoulder Friday afternoon. The person was described as being dressed entirely in white and was observed kneeling with one hand raised.

Upon arriving at the scene, a deputy asked for the individual’s identification, which revealed that the man was wanted in Sumter, South Carolina. He was accused of aiming a firearm at someone earlier that same day. Additionally, investigators from Sumter County had linked him to a homicide investigation in Pinellas County, Florida.

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed the man’s identity as 37-year-old Nicholas Steven Kirchner. He is facing charges related to the murder of his parents, 53-year-old Elizabeth Lee Kirchner and 64-year-old Steven Eric Kirchner.

Pinellas County detectives said they received a call from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office regarding the incident in South Carolina in which Kirchner allegedly said, “I’ve already killed two people, I’ll kill some more.”

Nicholas reportedly admitted to killing both of his parents, calling it a ‘righteous kill’, and told investigators he abandoned a stolen vehicle on I-20, which was later found by the Warren County Sheriff’s Office.

He has been transported to the McDuffie County Sheriff’s Office jail to await extradition to Florida on two counts of First-Degree Murder Premeditated.
