Tonya Annette Ross was 44 when she was found dead inside a Lester Street home in Americus, Georgia, on April 20, 2015. Her death came less than two hours after two other victims, Corey Willis, 36, and Quanesha Lashon Brown, 24, were discovered at a North Jackson Street residence. Investigators from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation assisted local police in the multiple-death inquiries.

Authorities identified Tonya’s 45-year-old husband, Darrin Kenneth Ross, as the primary suspect in all three killings and issued warrants for his arrest and for the theft of Tonya’s 1997 Buick LeSabre. Officers located the stolen vehicle the next day; a chase ended in a field in Americus where Darrin Ross shot himself while inside the car and later died at a Macon medical center. The investigation concluded Darrin Ross perpetrated the three homicides.
