OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Jarmmal Cox, 30, was the subject of an intense multi-agency law enforcement effort involving Terrell County Sheriff’s Office, Hogansville Police Department, and the U.S. Marshals Service. Cox was wanted for aggravated assault on a police officer stemming from a May 2025 incident, during which he allegedly assaulted an officer and took an infant hostage during a brief standoff in Troup County.
Officers located Cox at a residence in the Dawson area of Terrell County on July 17, 2025. Before law enforcement could make direct contact, Cox fatally shot himself inside the residence, ending the standoff abruptly.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has taken over the investigation, reviewing evidence, tactical communications, and body camera footage from all involved agencies to assess the circumstances leading to Cox’s death.
