Three adults and one unborn child are dead in Georgia after a man killed his wife, his pregnant girlfriend, and himself last week.

In the early morning of May 21, Kevin Andrew Akins, 37, arrived at his estranged wife’s residence on Murray Avenue in Dalton, a small town about 30 miles southeast of Chattanooga, Tennessee. There, he fatally shot Rebeca Nicole Akins, 35, as stated in a press release from the Dalton Police Department.

Surveillance footage showed the assailant leaving around 6 a.m.

Rebeca’s body was not discovered until more than two days later when her colleagues became concerned after she neither called in nor reported to work, prompting them to request a welfare check from the police.

“When nobody answered the door, officers gained access to the apartment with assistance from the apartment staff and found the woman’s body, which appeared to have a gunshot wound to the head,” the police stated in the press release. “Detectives were immediately informed and commenced an investigation.”

In a GoFundMe, the first victim’s younger sister said she “was tragically taken away from us by the man she had loved for over half of her life.”

Investigators determined that Kevin Akins then traveled to another apartment on Shadow Lane, located roughly 4 miles across town.

The second apartment was home to Cindel Mae Rhoden, 33, the killer’s girlfriend. The mother of two girls was five months pregnant with a baby boy, according to a GoFundMe.

Inside, Kevin Akins shot and killed Rhoden and then turned the gun on himself, according to law enforcement.
