On the morning of April 9, 2021, deputies responding to what was reported as a tractor-trailer accident along Interstate 20 at mile marker 132 in Greensboro, Georgia, found 30-year-old Joseph Lee Briggs Jr. of Manning, South Carolina, dead inside the cab. Investigators determined Briggs had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and that the scene was not a routine crash but a fatal shooting.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation took over the probe, and preliminary findings suggested the attack began as a road rage incident while Briggs was driving his truck. Authorities identified a primary suspect the following day, 20-year-old Deron Demond Bell of Norcross, Georgia, and issued warrants after he left the area. The shooter reportedly fired three rounds into the driver’s side, striking Briggs twice and killing him on the interstate.

What details about the sequence of events on the roadway or witnesses’ accounts can anyone add who was near I-20 that morning?
