A woman was found dead Monday afternoon at a home on Skyview Drive in Newton County.

A man accused of killing a woman inside her Newton County home remained on the run Friday, the sheriff’s office said.

Corey Olando Jackson, 41, is accused of killing 37-year-old Natasha Billings, according to investigators.

Billings was found dead inside her home Monday after a family member requested a wellness check, the sheriff’s office said. Deputies obtained a search warrant to enter a Skyview Drive home near Social Circle, where they found Billings’ body. An incident report released Wednesday said Billings had been shot to death.

According to investigators, a DeKalb County woman called the sheriff’s office to request the check after being unable to reach her daughter since Saturday. The body was found inside the home shortly after 4 p.m. Monday.

“At this time, the Newton County Sheriff’s Office is working this case as a presumed homicide,” the sheriff’s office said in a social media post.

Investigators believe the shooting was the result of domestic violence, the police report states. The relationship between Jackson and Billings was not released.

Jackson is believed to be driving a black Chrysler 300 Touring with Georgia tag TGU9280.

Anyone with information on Jackson’s whereabouts is asked to contact Investigator Collins at kcollins@newtonsheriffga.org or 678-625-1428.
