Thomas Franklin Truitt, 37, was killed during an April 18, 2012 law enforcement operation at a residence on Old Old Alabama Road in Cartersville, Georgia. A federal task force that included U.S. Marshals and local officers had come to serve multiple warrants related to a fatal hit-and-run on Interstate 75 in Cobb County the previous month. Truitt faced charges including first-degree homicide by vehicle, hit and run, driving with a suspended license, and violations of the Georgia Controlled Substance Act.

Officers entered the house through a back door because they believed Truitt might be armed and a flight risk. Shortly after entry, gunfire occurred; emergency medical services later pronounced Truitt dead from gunshot wounds sustained during the attempt to take him into custody. A search of the vehicle linked to the earlier crash reportedly turned up methamphetamine, a scale, and prescription medications. An investigation into the officer-involved shooting was opened to establish the sequence of events and whether the use of lethal force was justified.
