On the evening of Thursday, September 8, 2022, 42-year-old Cobb County Sheriff’s Deputy Jonathan Koleski and a partner went to a home on Hampton Glen Court in Marietta to serve a felony theft warrant for Christopher Cook. As deputies attempted to take Cook into custody, another man in the house, identified as Christopher Patrick Golden, confronted them with a firearm. Commands were given for Golden to drop the weapon, then an exchange of gunfire occurred. Both Deputy Koleski and Deputy Marshall Ervin Jr. were fatally wounded.

After the shooting, Cook and Golden barricaded themselves inside the residence, prompting a law enforcement standoff before both men were taken into custody. Koleski, a U.S. Army veteran who served three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, had been with the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office since 2007. Hundreds of law enforcement officers and supporters attended his funeral before he was interred at Georgia National Cemetery in Canton.

If anyone has information about the events at the Hampton Glen Court address on September 8, 2022, please come forward.
