He was discovered alongside his 50-year-old mother, Kowanda Glenn, who had also been fatally shot.
Responding to a report of a double shooting around 12:20 a.m., deputies from the Newton County Sheriff's Office were met at the scene by 53-year-old Willie Glenn, Mikhail's father. He informed the deputies that his wife and son had been shot. However, as investigators from the Criminal Investigations Division delved into the circumstances surrounding the deaths, they quickly determined the incident was domestic in nature.
Willie Glenn was arrested at the scene and subsequently charged with two counts of murder, two counts of aggravated assault, and one count of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. While the motive for the killings has not been publicly confirmed, the investigation remains ongoing. The Newton County Sheriff's Office expressed their deep sadness over the tragic event and extended their condolences to the family and loved ones of the victims.
