A McEachern High School football standout was killed early Thursday in an apparent murder-suicide at his family's Powder Springs home.

Police identified one of the deceased as Rajaan Bennett, who earlier this month signed to play football next fall at Vanderbilt University.

It looks like he was protecting his mom and sister from a former boyfriend of his mother. What a terrible tragedy all around. :(


I just found out that he was also Vandy's highest rated signee this year. This guy had a bright future ahead of him. So sad...
