Antoinne Chimon Canady Sr., 35, was shot and killed during a domestic dispute at a home on Lakeside Circle in Covington, Georgia, on May 9, 2024. The Newton County Sheriff’s Office reports Nicole Fletcher, a Covington resident, fired the fatal shot; deputies found Canady slumped on the front porch, unconscious and not breathing. Fletcher and another woman were found crying in the road and Fletcher was detained; a responding officer’s body camera failed to record the initial interaction because of a technical malfunction attributed to heavy rain. The on-call investigator, crime scene investigator, and coroner responded and the investigation was ongoing; as of late May 2024 no charges had been filed against Fletcher.

Antoinne, known as Ant and Ace, was born November 30, 1988, in Opelika, Alabama, served in the U.S. Navy beginning in 2008, lived in Atlanta, and was a father to two children, Amariyah and Antoinne Canady Jr. He was remembered for charitable work, a love of travel and sports, coaching his son’s T-ball team, and membership in a car club.

Has anyone with knowledge of this case or who knew Ant come forward with information?
