Athens-Clarke County Police have released the names of the three people killed in what appears to have been a double murder-suicide on Athens’ north side: police say 31 year-old Mangell Maivena was the triggerman who opened fire on 26 year-old Juliana Navarnete-Moreno and 21 year-old Hugo Martinez-Cerritos outside on home on Massey Lane. They were killed, as was Maivena when he turned his gun on himself.
From the ACCPD…
On December 1, 2023, at approximately 10:55 PM, ACCPD was dispatched to an Aggravated Assault in the 100 block of Massey Lane.
Upon arrival, ACCPD located three victims in what is being investigated as an apparent MurderSuicide. ACCPD’s initial investigation indicates that Juliana Navarnete-Moreno (Female, 26 YOA, Athens) and Hugo Martinez-Cerritos (Male, 20 YOA, Athens) arrived at a residence in the 100 block of Massey Lane in a 2013 Toyota Camry. Mangell Maivena (Male, 31 YOA, Athens), formerly involved in a domestic relationship with Navarnete-Moreno, approached the vehicle.
A domestic dispute took place, which escalated into gunfire. Maivena shot Navarnete-Moreno and Martinez-Cerritos and then took his own life with a firearm. Navarnete-Morena was deceased at the scene. Martinez-Cerritos was transported to a local hospital with lifethreatening injuries. He succumbed to those injuries on December 3, 2023.
ACCPD is asking anyone with information about the incident to contact Det. Paul Johnson at 762-400-7060 or Paul.Johnson@accgov.com.
