MOULTRIE, Ga. (AP/WTXL) - Authorities have identified the five people killed in a Colquitt County house fire Sunday.
It happened Sunday morning inside a home on Rossman Dairy Road.
The state fire marshal identified the victims as Jonathan Edwards, Alicia Norman, Jones Pidcock, Reid Williams, and Jordan Croft. Jeffrey Peacock escaped the fire and was sent to the hospital. The victims were 19 and 20 years old.
One of the victims, Alicia Norman, worked at the Advance Auto Parts on First Street. The store has set up a memorial for Alicia. Her manager says it's important to remember her: "This is a small community. Everybody knows everybody, and she was special. She wasn't just somebody out there. She was different. She had a beautiful energy, and she was a great soul, so she's going to be missed a lot."
The store has set up a donation bin for Alicia's family. You can either donate at the location on First Street or on West Central Avenue.
