HENRY COUNTY, Ga. -- Sunday afternoon brought with it a tragic update to a shooting that came earlier in the week in Henry County.
The Henry County Coroner confirmed that Destiny Olinger, the fourth victim who was left in critical condition, has died.
Police confirmed late Thursday that they have made five arrests in a Henry County shooting that has now left four people dead.
Police said that the crime actually began as a late-night gathering or bonfire, but somehow devolved into gunfire. The call originally came in as a home invasion, but when police arrived they found four victims shot in the living room and kitchen.
Neighbors told 11Alive’s Erin Calandra that the owner of the house was on his way back from Florida. However, a 20-year-old woman was house-sitting at the time of the shooting. Her family, who arrived on the scene just after 8 a.m. that morning, said she was shot and is in critical condition.
Olinger was taken to hospital by medical helicopter but was confirmed deceased on Sunday just after 4 p.m.
The other victims' identities were released Friday morning. They where:
- Matthew Hicks, 18, of McDonough, Ga.
- Keith Gibson, 29, of Covington, Ga.
- Sophia Bullard, 20, of Thomason, Ga.
The initial investigation turned up two suspects for the fatal shooting in the 600 block of Moccasin Gap Road. But during the process of trying to find them, police also uncovered three other people who had some part, knowledge or direct involvement in the incident.
