University of West Georgia professor accused of murdering 18-year-old freshman
Anna Jones won’t ever research on the College of West Georgia the place she was slated to be an incoming freshman this fall.
As an alternative, the 18-year-old was shot to loss of life.
And, cops say, one of many college’s professors is suspected of pulling the set off.
Richard Sigman, 47, was arrested and charged with homicide, possession of a firearm and aggravated assault within the homicide of Jones on Saturday in Carrollton.
In response to cops, Sigman had earlier threatened to shoot one other man at a neighborhood pizza joint known as Leopoldo’s. The 2 males had reportedly argued and safety noticed the aggrieved educational was packing a gun and informed him to depart.
Sigman did so however when he hit the parking deck, he allegedly began capturing right into a parked automotive the place Jones was sitting. She was hit by bullets and her pals rushed her to the hospital.
Jones — a latest highschool graduate — was later pronounced useless.
Sigman was fired by the college.
“The College of West Georgia has realized of the lack of one in all its college students, Anna Jones, who handed away following an off-campus incident earlier at this time,” college president Brendan Kelly stated in an announcement, in accordance with CBS 46.
“UWG has terminated the employment of Richard Sigman and continues to work with the town of Carrollton Police Division, which leads this ongoing investigation.”
Kelly added: “On behalf of the college, we want to convey our deepest condolences to Anna’s household and plenty of pals.”
Jones was a 2022 graduate of Mount Zion highschool.
One good friend informed CBS 46 that Jones was a “stunning, candy, caring lady.”
“I’ll miss her without end,” stated good friend Ethan Lepard. “There are such a lot of good qualities, nobody may checklist all of them.”
