A 22-year-old man in southeast Georgia who told a police dispatcher that he killed his parents is scheduled for an arraignment today.
Camden County Sheriff''s Lt. Williams Terrell says Tye Christopher Watkins called 911 Monday morning and told the dispatcher: "I just killed my parents."
Deputies responded to the home in an affluent waterfront neighborhood near the Navy''s submarine base at Kings Bay.
They found 47-year-old Thomas Jefferson "T.J." Watkins and 44-year-old Cindy Trott Watkins dead of multiple gunshot wounds.
Authorities did not know if Tye Watkins had retained an attorney.
Investigators have not discussed a motive, but Lt. Terrell says the couple reported their son missing a few hours before the murder.
Watkins lived with his parents. He has a sister who lives across the street from his parent''s home.
Family friends told First Coast News that the couple was very involved with several churches. Thomas Jefferson Watkins, who was known as "T.J." to friends, was a retired Navy chief. Most recently, he worked at the Kings Bay Sub Base. Cindy Watkins was retired.
