A domestic dispute in Norman Park, Georgia, ended in homicide when 35-year-old John Asberry Taylor was shot and killed on February 8, 2022. Taylor, a married father of three and a truck driver for Orgill, Inc., had argued with another individual earlier that day. That evening his father-in-law, 61-year-old Jeffery Lynn Weeks, and brother-in-law, 32-year-old Thomas Montgomery Weeks, went to Taylor’s home on Ellenton Norman Park Road to confront him. An exchange of gunfire followed; deputies arriving shortly after midnight found Taylor dead of a gunshot wound and Thomas Weeks with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation assisted the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office.

Both Jeffery and Thomas Weeks were arrested on February 9, 2022, and charged with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, burglary, and home invasion. A grand jury later returned indictments. The trial process has proceeded in Superior Court as authorities and prosecutors work to establish the facts of that night. If anyone knew John Asberry Taylor, his movements that day, or witnessed the confrontation at the home, please come forward with information.
