OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/11/2025, at approximately 8:30 a.m., the Quitman County Sheriff’s Office received a request to respond to a residence on Lucy Lane in Georgetown after a woman called 911. Authorities alleged that 41-year-old Maurice Snapp of Abbeville, Alabama, had attacked the woman before she was able to get away and call police. Quitman County Sheriff Charles Davis personally responded to the residence.
According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s preliminary account, Davis encountered Snapp at the residence. The GBI alleged that Snapp then attacked Davis. Davis fired his weapon, striking Snapp. Snapp died at the scene.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation opened an independent investigation at the request of the Quitman County Sheriff’s Office. The GBI Medical Examiner’s Office was assigned to conduct Snapp’s autopsy. The agency stated that once its investigation was completed, the case would be submitted to the Pataula Judicial Circuit for review.
The GBI’s statewide 2025 police-shooting record subsequently continued to identify Maurice Snapp, 41, as the person killed in the Quitman County Sheriff’s Office shooting on Lucy Lane and confirmed that the incident was fatal.
Publicly available sources identify Sheriff Charles Davis as the sole officer who fired at Snapp. Searches for Davis’s prior police shootings, use-of-force incidents, misconduct complaints, discipline, civil-rights lawsuits and criminal allegations did not produce a clearly documented prior incident attributable to him in the sources located for this update.
