An Athens man shot and killed his ex-girlfriend and another man before turning the gun on himself, police say.
The double-murder suicide on December 1 took place in the 100 block of Massey Lane on the north side of town. Late Friday night, officers with the Athens-Clarke County Police Department (ACCPD) responded to a report of an aggravated assault at that location.
The department’s initial investigation indicates that Mangell Maivena, 31, shot Juliana Navarnete-Moreno, 26, and Hugo Martinez-Cerritos, 20, during a dispute. He then took his own life.
Navarnete-Morena died at the scene. Martinez-Cerritos was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. He died on Sunday, December 3.
ACCPD is asking anyone with information about the incident to contact Detective Paul Johnson at 762-400-7060 or email [email protected].
