Hoyt Teasley, 43, was killed on March 11, 2005, after confronting an armed fugitive who had just begun a deadly rampage inside the Fulton County Courthouse in Atlanta. Known to his family as Keith, Teasley had served with the Fulton County Sheriff’s Department for nearly two decades and was described by neighbors as quiet, good-natured and protective. He was a married father of two daughters.

As Nichols fled, Sergeant Teasley pursued him out onto Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, where Nichols turned and shot Teasley multiple times in the abdomen. Teasley, who was not wearing a protective vest, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead.
