A late-night dispute at a Griffin motel turned fatal on February 27, 2021. Jeremey Markivius Dugger, 36, was found unresponsive in a downstairs room at the Red Roof Inn on North Expressway after deputies answered a shots-fired call around 11:50 p.m. He had two gunshot wounds to the abdomen and was pronounced dead at 12:10 a.m. by the Spalding County coroner.

Witnesses identified 37-year-old Terrance Terrell Dixon as the shooter; he and Dugger were known to each other. Investigators say an argument preceded the shooting, only two shots were believed fired, and a handgun later recovered at the scene is thought to be the murder weapon. Dixon reportedly fled on foot and was later the subject of arrest warrants charging felony murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

Did anyone in the Griffin area know Dugger or see what happened at the motel that night?
