Officer Paramhans Dineshchandra Desai was shot while attempting to make an arrest at a residence near Keys Ferry Road and Floresta Drive in McDonough, Georgia, during the late afternoon of November 4, 2021. He was 38 and a seventeen-year veteran who had served with the Georgia Department of Corrections and the DeKalb County Police Department before joining the Henry County Police Department. Rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital, he remained in critical condition for four days and died on the evening of November 8, 2021. His family was with him, and his organs were donated, saving eleven lives.

The suspected shooter was identified as Jordan Jackson. A multi-agency manhunt located him in an apartment in Riverdale five days after the shooting. When a SWAT team moved in, Jackson barricaded himself and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Investigators later arrested three women accused of assisting Jackson while he was on the run: Madison Troy and Katlyn Finley were charged with aiding and abetting, and Demetria S. Daniel was charged with hindering apprehension or punishment of a criminal.

If anyone knew Officer Desai, his family, or has information about the events surrounding the shooting and the subsequent manhunt, please share what is known.
