Accident – Death – Obituary News :

A tragic incident unfolded on Friday night in Athens, as three individuals lost their lives in what the local police are describing as a murder-suicide resulting from a domestic dispute.

The distressing incident occurred around 11 p.m. on Massey Lane, a peaceful neighborhood located in the northern part of Athens near Freeman Drive. Shockingly, all three victims resided on the same street, according to the authorities.

The shooter has been identified as 31-year-old Mangell Maivena, who fatally shot the other two individuals before ultimately ending his own life. The victims were identified as 26-year-old Juliana Navarnete-Moreno and 20-year-old Hugo Martinez-Cerritos. Moreno tragically succumbed to her injuries at the scene, while Cerritos fought for his life until Sunday when he passed away at a local hospital.

The police have confirmed that Maivena was armed with a pistol, although they have chosen not to disclose the specific caliber of the weapon used. The investigation is still ongoing, and authorities are working diligently to determine the motives behind this horrific incident.

Athens-Clarke County Coroner Sonny Wilson released a statement on Monday, informing the public that the immediate family members of the deceased have been notified in their home countries of Guatemala and Nicaragua. Wilson also revealed that Maivena was the former husband of Moreno, shedding light on the personal connection between the individuals involved in this tragic event.

According to the police, Moreno and Cerritos arrived at Maivena’s residence on Massey Lane in a 2013 Toyota Camry, which is when the domestic dispute escalated into a violent confrontation. The details surrounding the dispute have not been fully disclosed, and the police are urging anyone with relevant information to come forward.
