Gwinnett County police investigators on Friday recovered the firearm a 17-year-old boy allegedly used to kill his two sisters and mother, a Gwinnett sheriff's deputy, authorities said.
Gwinnett police and a Hall County dive team found the weapon in one of the two areas where the accused, Anthony Tyrone Terrell, said he had disposed of it, Gwinnett police said.
Terrell's mother, 39-year-old Joy Deleston, was an actress who appeared in locally produced films as well as a 7-1/2 year veteran of the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office. She previously worked for the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office in South Georgia. She and her daughters, Micaiah, 11, and Jelani, 4, all died of gunshot wounds, according to Gwinnett County police.
Jelani is the daughter of rap star Juvenile, according to child support records in Gwinnett County. The rapper, whose real name is Terius Gray, could not be reached for comment on Friday. Micaiah was a sixth-grader at Richards Middle School, said Sloan Roach, spokeswoman for Gwinnett County schools. Roach said grief counselors were sent Friday to her school and Central Gwinnett.
Terrell was being held Friday in the DeKalb County Jail, Gwinnett police Cpl. Illana Spellman said. The sophomore at Central Gwinnett High School was charged with three counts of murder and three counts of aggravated assault.
This is extremely sad. Nigga killed his own family.
