The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office is mourning the loss of Deputy Shakeema Brown Jackson.
Jackson was killed overnight, in an alleged domestic incident.
Sheriff’s Dept. officials say Jackson has been a treasured member of the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office since 2018, when she joined the agency as a Detention Officer. She became a Deputy Sheriff just over a month ago.
Jackson is remembered as eager to learn, and always had a positive disposition. Coworkers say she was bubbly, and, no matter how disrespectful inmates may have been, always greeted them with “Good morning,” earning their respect.
“This is a heartbreaking loss for the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office,” says Fulton County Sheriff Patrick “Pat” Labat. “This is a hard time for the Sheriff’s Office, and we ask for your continued prayers.”
The Newton County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation into the incident.
