Faith Lewis was killed in a murder-suicide Wednesday at a home in Austell, police said.
Her aunt told Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell that her niece had a beautiful soul and a kind spirit.
The entire family is devastated by the loss of her and her unborn child.
“She was so beautiful, she was so kind, she was so sweet, soft hearted,” said Ashley Bridges, her aunt.
Just a few months ago, Faith was making a vision board that reflected the life she wanted to live. She wanted to go back to school and become a graphic designer.
Bridges can’t believe she’ll never see her niece again. The family said Faith looked forward to being a mom.
“For him to kill her knowing she was pregnant and then turn the gun on himself, I think that was cowardly of him,” Bridges said.
A growing memorial sits outside the home where the tragedy happened.
Police found 24-year-old Tyler Staton sitting on the floor with a gunshot wound to his head and a pistol beside him. He died at a nearby hospital.
Lewis’ family said she graduated from the Cobb County School District in 2024 and just turned 19 in March. She had been dating Staton for about a year.
