MURRAY COUNTY, Ga. — A North Georgia man faces murder charges after authorities said he repeatedly rammed a car carrying a young couple last week, killing them, according to our partners at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and AJC.com.
Murray County deputies responded to the fatal crash on U.S. 411 in Chatsworth about 7:15 p.m. July 29, authorities said. Investigators initially thought 19-year-old Tommy Nickels and his 20-year-old wife, Kristen, were killed in a hit-and-run, Chief Deputy Jimmy Davenport told AJC.com.
Witnesses, however, said the suspect pursued the couple for at least a mile, repeatedly ramming their vehicle with his 2006 Suzuki Reno before driving off, according to the sheriff’s office.
