A domestic dispute in a Hiram home ended in a fatal shooting in early June 2025. Deputies responding just after dusk to a house on Westend Way found 30-year-old Anthony Brown dead of a gunshot wound. Reports say Brown was in a relationship with the mother of the alleged shooter.

The suspect, identified as 17-year-old Javar Summerhour, left the scene before officers arrived but was later located and arrested with the cooperation of his family. He was booked into the Paulding County Jail and is being held without bond on charges related to the shooting. Authorities describe the incident as arising from a domestic dispute; investigators are still working to establish the precise sequence of events.

A cousin remembered Brown as kind and giving; he lived at the residence with his girlfriend and her son. Anyone who was in the area that evening or has information about what happened is asked to contact investigators.
