An off-duty Richmond County Sheriff’s deputy, 43-year-old Gregory Cooke, was fatally shot after a domestic dispute in south Augusta, Georgia, on June 15, 2017. Cooke was transported to Augusta University Medical Center and died of multiple gunshot wounds to his legs and back. Neighbors reported hearing five or six shots during the confrontation. Authorities said Cooke was not acting in an official capacity and was acquainted with the people involved but not related to them.

A large law enforcement response followed and four people initially fled the scene; several later surrendered. Two teenagers, Naheem Rashad Caldwell, 17, and Donnelle Osborne, 18, were charged with malice murder. Investigators say Naheem Caldwell claimed he fired to defend his father, Stevie Dustin Caldwell, 46. Stevie Caldwell was arrested on charges of tampering with evidence and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon after allegedly disposing of shell casings. Warrants were issued for Neqwaun O Neal Roberson, 18, Nikeyla Reeves, 17, and Demerius Taquon Hunter, 17, on hindering apprehension charges.

Does anyone have information about the events that led up to the June 15 confrontation or about the people involved?
