A man associated with killing five individuals in a couple of shootings Friday night later passed on of a self-exacted gunfire wound, police said.
Wayne Anthony Hawes, 50, of Appling, shot himself in the head, as per an announcement from Columbia County Capt. Andy Shedd. Powers trust he unsuccessfully attempted to set his home ablaze before murdering himself.
The Columbia County Sheriff's Office looked for Hawes, who supposedly shot five individuals Friday night. Shedd said the occurrence originated from a residential debate and a percentage of the casualties are accepted to be identified with Hawes' wife.
Police initially reacted to reports of a shooting at 7:54 p.m. Friday at a Johnson Drive house in Appling, Shedd said. Officers discovered three shooting casualties at that wrongdoing scene: Roosevelt Burns, 75; Rheba Mae Dent, 85; and Kelia Clark, 31.

Clark passed on at the doctor's facility, Shedd said.
Not exactly a hour later, police got a call about another shooting, this time at a Washington Road habitation. Officers discovered 59-year-old Lizzy Williams and 62-year-old Shelly Williams dead at the scene, Shedd said.
Powers decided the shootings were connected, in view of witness accounts.
Their examination drove them to Hawes, Shedd said.
They surveilled Hawes house on the 3300 square of Rosemont Road until after 12 pm, when they went into the house. That is the point at which they discovered Hawes' body.
Shedd did not expound on the way of the local question amongst Hawes and his wife.
"We are researching all circumstances that hinted at the shooting," he said.
