A man accused of killing his wife Sunday evening is facing charges in what officials said is only the second homicide Cherokee County deputies have investigated this year.
Kelvin Williams, 47, is charged with murder, first-degree cruelty to children and two counts of aggravated assault, authorities said. As of Tuesday, he remained in the Cherokee jail without bond.
The shooting happened at a home on Daventry Crossing in the Daventry Village subdivision off Alabama Road. The area is about a 15-minute drive from downtown Woodstock.
At the scene, deputies said they found 48-year-old Tenisha Williams dead from an apparent gunshot wound.
“Investigators determined that during a domestic dispute, Kelvin Williams allegedly attempted to shoot his 16-year-old stepson before fatally shooting his wife‚” sheriff’s office spokesperson Capt. Jay Baker said in a statement.
The teenager and another youth in the home were found unharmed, officials said.
It’s the only homicide Cherokee deputies have investigated since February, when the sheriff’s office responded to their first one of the year.
On Feb. 17, Michael Kyle Reid was found dead in a carport at a home on North Lake Drive, officials told Channel 2 Action News at the time. The suspect, 44-year-old David Daniel, was still there when police arrived and was subsequently arrested.
The victim and suspect were acquaintances of the homeowner but did not live at the house, the news station reported.
