POWDER SPRINGS, Ga. – Powder Springs police said that 18-year-old Rajaan Bennett was killed in a murder-suicide early Thursday morning.
Bennett, a running back at McEachern High School, had just signed in the beginning of February to play with the Vanderbilt Commodores.
According to NewsChannel 5’s CBS Atlanta Affiliate WGCL, police received a 911 call from someone in Bennett’s house Thursday morning whispering for help. When police arrived and knocked on the door, four to five gunshots rang out.
