How they died
Suicide
Vonzell Garner reportedly killed himself during a standoff with police. According to police, Vonzell Garner called a relative at about 8 a.m. Sunday and said he had killed his wife and another woman. The relative reportedly did not notify police. A standoff began about 30 minutes later, when an officer driving by thought she heard fireworks and stopped to investigate. The officer saw Garner standing in the front yard, holding a rifle to his head. When she asked Garner to put the gun down, he went inside. Crisis negotiators phoned Garner, but gave up after 5 or 6 hours. Police stormed the house and found the bodies of Vonzell Garner, Donetra Garner, 25, and Crystal Hewitt, 19.
