Just a heads up, we have had several people call the Troup County Coroner’s office saying that they missed a call from us. It is very rare that we would ever make a death notification over the phone. If we did, that would be an absolute worst case scenario which we try very hard to avoid. If we do call you, it would be from our county cell phones and never 706-883-1709!

If you receive a call from 706-883-1709, it is a spoof call and please don’t panic! You are welcome to call us to verify, I just don’t want people needlessly alarmed!

One thing that I learned during the 2024 election is that people are seeking more transparency. After many prayers, conversations with families, agencies and amongst our staff, we will be releasing data. I'm going to start with 2021, the year that I took office and do an annual report for that year, 2022 and 2023. My hope is that I will eventually begin to release a quarterly report for 2024... that remains to be seen how it works out!

Anyway, here is 2021 data! If anyone ever has questions, please feel free to contact me! 706-616-4744

Shooting Investigation

On June 4, 2024 at 10:41 PM, deputies with the Troup County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a home in the 1600 block of Bartley Road in regards to two juveniles, a male and a female that were shot.

Once deputies and other first responders arrived on scene, they found a 15 year old male suffering from a gunshot wound and a 10 year old female also suffering from a gunshot wound. Life-saving measures immediately began on both of the victims until they were transported to Wellstar West Georgia Emergency Department.

Investigators with the Troup County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division were notified and the investigation has revealed at this point that the 15 year old male, shot the 10 year old female, with a handgun, for unknown reasons. A few minutes later the male shot himself. The two victims were siblings.

The female was transported to an Atlanta area hospital for treatment and the male is in critical condition.

This investigation is on-going, nothing further to be released at this time.
