MORE INFO ON AN UPSON COUNTY FATAL SHOOTING LAST WEEK

The investigation is continuing concerning the death of Kendarius  “KD” Sullivan. Deputies responded to  1394 Trice Cemetery Rd. just after 1:00 a.m. on April 20, 2016 and found Sullivan deceased inside the residence. Evidence has shown that the female resident, Jennifer Dsai, 29, was at the home along with a male identified as Hansen Colbert, 26 , of Thomaston. Sullivan and Dsai had previously been involved in a relationship. Sullivan arrived at the residence, driven by his brother, Jakevius Holmes. Sullivan noticed Colbert’s vehicle parked in the driveway and became angry. Sullivan exited his brother’s vehicle and approached the residence. Holmes remained at the vehicle and did not accompany Sullivan. Sullivan kicked in the rear door of the residence and began searching for Colbert. Colbert retreated to a bedroom closet inside the residence in an attempt to avoid Sullivan. Colbert called 911 from the closet just before his cell phone died causing him to lose contact with the 911 center.  Sullivan entered the bedroom, went into the bedroom closet and approached Colbert in an aggressive manner.  Colbert stated he feared for his life and fired several rounds from a 9mm handgun, striking Sullivan three times. Sullivan died at the scene. Colbert fled the scene and flagged down responding deputies  near the intersection of Trice Cemetery Rd. and Highway 36 to report the incident. Colbert is cooperating with the investigation.
Our investigation is ongoing as we continue to examine evidence. We have consulted the District Attorney’s office and will turn the case facts over to them for consideration of charges.
