NEWTON COUNTY, Ga. — A Fulton County sheriff’s deputy was shot and killed, along with one of her brothers, in an off-duty incident in Newton County, Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat confirms to Channel 2 Action News.

Labat said Deputy Shakeema Brown Jackson leaves behind a 17-month-old child.

Brown became a Deputy Sheriff just over a month ago.

Newton County Sheriff Ezell Brown said preliminarily the incident may or may not be a domestic dispute. He said he sends his condolences to the victims’ family and to Labat and his staff members.
