Jalyn Lashaud Colbert, who is from Conyers, was arrested in connection with the death of Covington resident Avantia Henry, authorities said Monday. Henry was shot just before 8 p.m. at a home on Kristen Place off Ga. 162.

By the time Newton County sheriff’s deputies arrived at the scene Friday evening, witnesses had already loaded Henry into a vehicle and were on the way to the hospital. Dispatchers got another call that the car transporting Henry had to pull off to the side of Ga. 162 about three miles up the road, sheriff’s spokeswoman Sgt. Cortney Morrison said.
