The manhunt that had been going on for almost a month came to an end on Saturday when he was taken into custody. He was wanted for the shooting deaths of two persons that occurred in the central region of Georgia. Following his involvement in the terrible event, Quintavis Holt, who is 39 years old and hails from Pineview, Georgia, was brought into custody by the Wilcox County Sheriff’s Office during the investigation.
At the time of the incident, which took place on May 25 in Pineview, Georgia, just after midnight, a number of people had gathered at a residence situated in the 200 block of Depot Street. An confrontation immediately escalated, resulting to shooting that resulted in the deaths of two victims at the scene, according to the statement made by the authorities. Nathadius Kenta Lawson, at the age of 36, and Charleston Calix, at the age of 40, both of whom were inhabitants of Pineview, were identified as the victims. During the early morning attack, both males were found to have sustained fatal gunshot wounds, according to the results of the investigation.
In response to the plea for assistance, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) arrived at the scene and immediately began working feverishly to collect evidence and piece together the sequence of events that led to the double homicide. Holt was able to be identified as the primary suspect in the homicides thanks to the information that was provided by witnesses who were present at the time. The authorities were able to find and catch Holt on Saturday, after conducting a thorough investigation that lasted for several weeks. This search was conducted across the entire state.
Two counts of murder with malice, two counts of aggravated assault, and one count of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony are among the significant allegations that have been brought against Holt. It has been stated by the authorities that they are dedicated to ensuring that Holt is held accountable for his acts and providing justice to the families of the victims.
Currently, the case has been transferred to the District Attorney’s Office of the Cordele Judicial Circuit, which will be responsible for overseeing the prosecution of the respective case. Law enforcement officials are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident and the actions that led up to it. As part of the ongoing investigation, they are requesting anyone who may have new information to come forward.
The community of Pineview, which had been rocked by the tragedy, has experienced a sense of relief as a result of those who were arrested. The cooperation between local and state law enforcement organizations in the process of bringing Holt into custody has been praised by law enforcement officials, and they have reaffirmed their dedication to ensuring that justice is served for the victims and their families.
