Mixed Martial Arts Fighters Found Dead
"MARIETTA, GA — Marietta police said Thursday that two mixed martial arts fighters whose bodies were found in their Springdale Drive home Wednesday night died in a murder-suicide.
"The two were identified Thursday as Maryellen Cano, 32, and her boyfriend, 28-year-old Wilbur Carl South.
"Both are MMA fighters who have appeared on fight cards at Wild Bill's in Duluth. South fought under the name Sonny `The Pitbull` South.
"About 6 p.m. Wednesday, Cano's father came to police headquarters to report that his daughter had been missing for the past two days, Marietta police spokesman David Baldwin said.
"`The investigation led to Maryellen Cano's residence,` Baldwin said. `Officers were unable to make contact with anyone at the residence, but Maryellen Cano's vehicle was still parked in the driveway.`
"Officers contacted the property's owner, went in and found Cano and her boyfriend dead.
"Baldwin said the two had an on-going domestic dispute, and South apparently shot Cano, then turned the gun on himself."
