BOSTON (WHDH) - The Boston University community was left reeling Thursday after learning one of their own was tragically killed.
Erin Edwards, 20, and her brother, 24-year-old Christopher Edwards, were found shot to death in their Vinnings, Georgia home around 6 p.m. Wednesday, according to Cobb County police.
Their mother, 58-year-old Marsha Edwards, was also found dead in the home from an apparent suicide, police added.
Officers said they were conducting a well-being check at the home at the time of discovery.
The bodies were found not long after Marsha posted a photo on Instagram with the caption, “I could not ask for better children.”
Erin was a rising junior at Boston University studying journalism.
The university said in a statement that she was an active member of the school community.
She disc jockeyed for the school radio station worked for the campus TV station and wrote for the school newspaper.
She was also the editor of Charcol magazine, a publication dedicated to artists of color.
Those that knew Erin said she had a passion for art, she supported feminist causes and was a voice for the black community.
She was due to graduate in 2021. Instead, Erin’s funeral will be held Wednesday in Atlanta.
The incident remains under investigation.
