Telvin Osborne, a 30-year-old Black man, died from a single gunshot wound to the chest in the early morning hours of February 23, 2025, at a residence on Four Points Road in Burke County, Georgia. Deputies found him unresponsive in the master bedroom around 5:47 a.m.; his girlfriend, Hannah Grace Cobb, was applying pressure to the wound and he was taken to a local hospital, where he died.

Cobb initially told investigators the gun discharged accidentally while she performed a routine check of the firearm after they returned from a night out. The Burke County Sheriff’s Office said the investigation found the shooting was not accidental, citing alcohol and an altercation involving pushing and shoving before the gun was fired. Ring camera footage reportedly captured Cobb telling Osborne to leave; Cobb later said he returned, threatened her with a knife and kicked in a bathroom door where she was hiding, and she then fired once. Cobb was arrested and charged with felony involuntary manslaughter and released on a $25,000 bond. A grand jury later returned a no bill and the District Attorney said the case was closed, a decision that drew public outcry and concern from the family and community.
