At 4:36 p.m. Sunday the fourth victim of a quadruple shooting in Henry County died, officials said.

Destiny Olinger had been clinging to life since Thursday, when Jacob Cole Kosky and Mathew Baker Jr, both of McDonough, allegedly shot her and three other people, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported.

Authorities identified the other three people killed in the shooting as Matthew Hicks, 18, of McDonough; Keith Gibson, 29, of Covington and Sophia Bullard, 20 of Thomason. The victims were shot in the head according to the criminal warrant.

Both men, shackled and in jail jumpsuits, asked for court-appointed attorneys during their first appearance hearing Friday in Henry County Magistrate Court. Their preliminary hearing was rescheduled for Nov. 21 at 2 p.m.
