    Name: Hughey, John Kennedy
    DOB: 10/08/1969
    County: Abbeville
    Incarcerated: 10/30/1997

    Crime: Shot Tesheka Harris and Luevinia Jackson, his former girlfriend, with a shotgun. Harris died from a solitary gunshot wound to the head, Jackson had a gunshot wound to the back of her head, from a maximum shooting distance of two feet; a large bruise on her face, likely caused by the blunt end of the shotgun; and a stab wound in her chest. He was arrested in Georgia and told the authorities "I killed them, it was an accident, the gun went off." Prior to the incident, Hughey left a note on his door: "As of this morning I will be dead. Love you all. Please take care of my kids.
