A candlelight vigil will be held Sunday for Erin Niccole Jones, the Forsyth County 911 supervisor killed this week in a believed murder-suicide.
The vigil will be held at 8 p.m. at the track field at North Forsyth High School, located at 3635 Coal Mountain Drive in Cumming. Attendees are encouraged to wear green, which was Jones’ favorite color, Forsyth County officials said in a news release.
Jones, 28, was found dead Wednesday afternoon on the second floor of her home on Dawsonville's Maple Hill Drive. The body of her live-in boyfriend, 43-year-old David Geyer II, was discovered on the first floor.
Authorities believe Jones had called 911 to report that someone in the home had a gun, and operators who took the call heard possible gunshots. Arriving Dawson County sheriff's deputies heard more shots coming from inside the home before discovering the bodies.
The couple’s four small children were not in the home during the believed murder-suicide, authorities have said.
Jones' obituary called her "a radical free spirit, always with a cause for people." She volunteered with child advocacy group CASA and a battered women's shelter, the obituary said, and was "a guardian angel for her brothers."
“She was nothing short of an amazing, devoted mother for her kids,” it said.
The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office also memorialized Jones on its Facebook page.
“Our dispatchers are our lifelines,” the department wrote. “Erin watched over our night shift deputies and we know she continues to watch over all of us still.”
