Austell Church to Remember Teen

Destiny World Church will hold a memorial at 11 a.m. Saturday for Jmaal Malik Keyes, the missing Middle Georgia State College student from Austell.

"We are asking everyone to wear green to represent his favorite color," officials wrote on the church's Facebook page.

Keyes' family hasn't heard from him since April 25, a few days after his sister drove him from metro Atlanta to the college campus in Cochran.

Human remains were found Friday near the home of Robert Kane Rolison, the 17-year-old Middle Georgia State College student who was charged May 9 with the murder of Keyes. DNA testing will be conducted to see if the remains belong to Keyes, spokeswoman Sherry Lang said Tuesday in a statement.

Keyes, a graduate of Hiram High School in Paulding County, has been a member of Destiny World Church for the past decade. Monday, the church asked everyone to honor Keyes through random acts of kindness.

"Be intentional about being kind," officials wrote on the church's website. "Share them with us over the next 14 days."
