Watkins Funeral Home in McDonough is in charge of arrangements. An online fundraising page was created for anyone wishing to assist the family with funeral costs.

Sandra White, 39, worked as a nurse at WellStar Atlanta Medical Center and planned to return to school to become a nurse practitioner, her family said. Arkeyvion was a sophomore at Dutchtown High School, where he was an honor student and played football

Investigators believe Anthony Bailey shot his live-in girlfriend inside her Stockbridge home early Thursday. Bailey then shot and injured two police officers. He refused to surrender to police for more than 16 hours. When investigators entered the home, Arkeyvion was also found dead. Bailey died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

A vigil was held Saturday night to celebrate the lives of the mother and son.
