On the evening of November 30, 2021, a domestic disturbance call in the Rex, Georgia, neighborhood of Jervis Court ended in multiple killings and an officer’s death. Clayton County Police Officer Henry Laxson, 24, a SWAT team member, was among officers who responded after 911 callers reported gunfire, a woman down in a yard, and a child shot. Arriving around 8:40 p.m., officers were first directed to the scene by a 12-year-old boy who had been shot in the face.

As tactical units approached, the shooter, identified as 35-year-old Arthur Allen Gilliam, opened fire from inside the home and then toward the rear. Officer Laxson and his partner, Officer Alex Chandler, encountered Gilliam; Laxson was fatally wounded and Chandler was shot in the hand. Officers returned fire and killed Gilliam. Investigators later found that Gilliam had shot and killed 70-year-old Mary Gilliam and 32-year-old Dominique Bibbins, and the 12-year-old who first alerted police was among the victims.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was called to conduct an independent probe into the officer-involved shooting. If anyone knew the victims or saw activity at Jervis Court that night, please share what was seen.
