Alan Brandan Lane, 32, was killed in Sylvania, Georgia, during a domestic disturbance on Saturday, May 11, 2024. A native of Screven County, he owned Superior Roofing Company after training as a welder and working as a union ironworker, and was a father to two children. Screven County deputies were called to a South Fork Road residence about 12:55 p.m. following a report of a shooting. Lane was found with gunshot wounds and taken to Optim Medical Center, where he later died.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation took over the inquiry. Investigators reported the incident grew out of a domestic conflict that became verbal and physical, and that the person alleged to have fired the weapon was Lane’s mother, Melissa Pittman Lane, who reportedly felt threatened by him in the moments before the shooting. The grand jury returned a no bill on April 7, 2025, closing the formal investigation without criminal charges against her.

If anyone knew Alan, his movements that day, or has information about the household conflict, please share what is known.
