Edward Buddy Sapp, a 77-year-old longtime resident of Quitman, Georgia, was killed on Wednesday, June 14, 2023. His death was described as violent, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was called in to assist local authorities as they looked into what happened that day.

Investigators arrested Sapp’s grandson in connection with the killing, and that grandson was later charged with murder. The case has clearly had a deep impact on the small community and on Sapp’s family, who now face the aftermath of an internal tragedy.

If anyone in Quitman knew Buddy Sapp or has information about what happened on June 14, authorities would welcome contact from people who can help clarify the events that led to his death.
