On August 27, 2019, Joe Edward Brown, 35, of Rome, Georgia, was shot and killed in a triple homicide near the Floyd–Chattooga County line in the Holland community. The attack also killed his mother, 61-year-old Linda Mae Everett, and 46-year-old Daryl Marsh.

Authorities say the shooter, identified as Steven James Mauldin, opened fire and then fled the scene. He reportedly kidnapped an ex-girlfriend and traveled out of state before law enforcement located him in Coweta County, Georgia. Mauldin has been charged with multiple offenses, including murder, in connection with the three deaths.
