A Georgia man took his own life after killing two women in a tragic murder-suicide that rocked the Dalton community last week.
Kevin Akins, 37, gunned down his 35-year-old wife, Rebeca Akins, early on May 21 at her apartment before traveling to the home of 33-year-old Cindel Rhoden.
Rhoden was the man’s girlfriend and a mother of two who just learned she was pregnant with a baby boy.
On May 24, Rhoden’s father discovered her body and that of Akins inside her apartment and called 911.
“Cindel was taken from us in a senseless act of violence. She was devoted to her work and worked hard as a single mother trying to navigate and figure out life,” her devastated family said.
“Cindel was more than just a victim of this tragedy, she was kind, full of life, and a devoted mom doing her best for her girls.”
