Police in DeKalb County were called to an apartment for a welfare check over the weekend. They found five people shot to death: Johnson, her two grandchildren, their mother and the suspect.

"I just wish this never would have happened," said Monique Davis, Johnson's cousin. "Domestic violence is real. I watch this stuff all the time. I watch all kind of crime. I never knew it would come this close."
