Sister of Georgia LB coach Kevin Sherrer found shot
Rasha Breann Sherrer, the sister of Georgia outside linebackers coach Kevin Sherrer, was found dead on Tuesday.
According to authorities, Rasha Sherrer, 36 and Gary Hazelrig, 43, were both discovered dead with gunshot wounds at 1:45 p.m in Blount County. Per Al.com, a witness said the two were last seen alive at 8:30 a.m. Monday and they were found after friends were unable to reach them. A motive or any possible suspects have not been identified.
Kevin Sherrer was not at practice on Wednesday.
“Him and his wife are not here today,” Georgia coach Mark Richt said via AthensOnline.com. “They’re with family right now today and tomorrow probably. We expect Kevin to come back tomorrow, but whatever he needs to do to help just be there for his family, we want him to do that. There’s no time limit. I told Kevin whatever you’ve got to do, you do it and whenever you come back, you come back. We’ll handle business here. There’s a lot more important things in life than football.”
According to Al.com, both were awaiting trial and had been arrested in 2015 for drug-related charges. Rasha was a mother of five. Kevin has been with Georgia since he came to the school with defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt's arrival in 2014. He previously served as the defensive coordinator at South Alabama.
