Resaca man charged with murder

From Staff Reports

A 17-year-old Resaca man is in the Gordon County Jail charged with murder in the death of a 19-year-old Calhoun man.

Calhoun Police Chief Garry Moss said Daniel Kemp of 727 Midway Road, Resaca, was arrested at about 3 this morning after being interviewed by detectives and agents with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Calhoun police were called to the Calhoun Kmart parking lot around 3 p.m. Wednesday about a while male in the wood line behind the store. Officers found the partially clothed body of David Lee Esslinger, 19, of 115 Willow Court, Lot 5, Calhoun, on the ground, Moss said. He said detectives found evidence of a "struggle." They believe the fight between victim and suspect began in the roadway and the body was carried into the wood line.

More charges are pending, Moss said.
