A shooting in Cordele, Georgia, on the early morning of Saturday, December 20, 2025, left 62-year-old Roger Swint dead. Calls reporting a shooting just before 2:00 a.m. led officers to the 500 block of West 15th Avenue, where three people had been struck by gunfire. Swint, known to friends and family as Bay Bay, was pronounced dead at the scene despite first responders’ lifesaving efforts; two other male victims were treated and transported to Crisp Regional Hospital.

The Cordele Police Department asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to take the lead, and detectives and agents processed the scene for forensic evidence. No arrests or named suspects had been announced in the initial reports. The Bentley-Carson Memorial Funeral Home in Cordele is handling Swint’s final arrangements as the community mourns.

Does anyone with information about activity on West 15th Avenue that night or who knew Roger Swint contact the GBI Tip Line or Cordele police.
