Man accused in fatal Georgia shooting spree dies in jail, officials say
(WSAV) — The man accused of shooting and killing three people in Dekalb County April 13 was found dead in his jail cell, officials confirmed Monday night.
Olaolukitan Adon-Abel was found unresponsive in his jail cell at 6:48 p.m., a Dekalb County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said. Life-saving measures were performed, according to officials.
He was pronounced dead at 7:17 p.m.
Adon-Abel was charged with malice murder, aggravated assault and firearms counts in connection to the shooting deaths of Prianna Weathers, Tony Mathews and Lauren Bullis.
In 2025, Adon-Abel plead guilty in Chatham County Recorder’s Court to multiple misdemeanor counts of sexual battery for groping women in Chatham County under the name Adon Olaolukitan.
According to court documents, he was banned from Savannah for four years and ordered to undergo a psychosexual evaluation.
The official cause will be determined by the DeKalb County Medical Examiner’s Office, and a standard internal review has been launched, according to officials.
At this time, the sheriff’s office said there are no indications of foul play. No additional details were released.
More than 1 million Georgians voted early in the Democratic and Republican party primaries. But many more have waited until Tuesday to cast their ballots.
Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Depending on your time and polling location, prepare for a bit of a wait before voting.

The Georgia Bulldogs softball team won the Athens Regional with a 5-0 win over the Clemson Tigers at Jack Turner Stadium. Georgia sophomore pitcher Addisen Fisher threw a complete game shutout and allowed just two hits in a dominant performance.
The Bulldogs avenged an early season home loss to Clemson and went a perfect 3-0 in the regional. Next up for the No. 10 seed Georgia Bulldogs is a best of three series against No. 7 seed Tennessee Volunteers, who defeated Virginia to win their regional.
Georgia is returning to a super regional for a forth consecutive season. Georgia softball coach Tony Baldwin has the Bulldogs peaking at the right time.
“Just a great day, a great weekend,” Baldwin said after UGA’s win. “Proud of the way that we went about the game. Eight walks, I think, nine yesterday, eight today. The discipline that we showed is one of the core things that we’ve talked about all season.”
Georgia will play at Tennessee in the Knoxville Super Regional from Thursday, May 21, to Sunday, May 24 (if three games are necessary). Georgia and Tennessee did not play each other during the regular season. Both teams are battled-tested from being in the SEC.
“I think we finished the last 12 games of the season, 11 of them were against top 10 teams, and the 11th one still hosted regionals and had spent time in the top 10,” Baldwin said. “We faced a lot of good teams. We’ve had to learn how to fight, how to take a punch, how to stay in a ball game, and I thought our pitching and defense today gave us an opportunity to just keep staying in the fight.”
The winner of the Georgia-Tennessee series will advance to the Women’s College World Series.

ATLANTA – Georgia voters will head to the polls Tuesday to cast their ballots in a highly competitive primary election that features several races for top state offices.
What we know:
The Georgia Secretary of State’s office reported that more than 550,000 people have already cast early ballots in the state. This early turnout represents more than 7% of the state’s 7 million active voters, with Democrats seeing a higher early turnout by more than 50,000 votes over Republicans.
Several of the most powerful positions in the state are completely open because there is no incumbent running in the race.
Gov. Brian Kemp is limited by terms, leaving his seat open, while Lt. Gov. Burt Jones is running for that office alongside former Atlanta Democratic Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.
In the Senate race, three Republicans are competing for the chance to challenge Sen. John Ossoff, who faces no Democratic challengers. Other major offices on the ballot include attorney general, agricultural commissioner, and insurance and fire safety commissioner.

What we don’t know:
It remains unclear how total voter turnout on Tuesday will compare to early voting numbers or if election day will alter the current turnout balance between political parties. Officials have not yet indicated how quickly final ballot counting will be completed after polling places close for the evening.
What they’re saying:
“The thing that we really want to do is help elect enough women and men who are Democrats to flip at least one chamber of the House or Senate,” Melita Easters of the Georgia Gang said.
“We want to see a big turnout for Republicans on the day of Tuesday so that we can even that number out, because we know that it’s it’s about a 50-50 state,” Martha Zoller of the Georgia Gang said.
What you can do:
Polling sites will open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Voters are being asked to double-check their polling site locations and look over a sample ballot before arriving to make sure they are prepared.
