In a quiet Conyers, Georgia home in December of 2019, a devastating scene unfolded, leaving three family members dead and a community in mourning. On December 2nd, deputies from the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a residence on Sweetwater Lane to conduct a welfare check. Inside, they made a grim discovery: the bodies of 25-year-old Jaydah Curry, her 50-year-old husband Michael Curry, and her 19-year-old brother, Joshua Baker. The manner of their deaths was not immediately clear, but authorities suspected the tragedy was the result of a domestic dispute.
Jaydah Curry was a mother to a young child and was remembered by loved ones for her supportive and loving nature. Her brother, Joshua, had recently embarked on a new chapter in his life, having just started college. The family was left to grapple with the sudden and violent loss of two of its cherished members. The deaths of Jaydah and Joshua were investigated as homicides, while the circumstances surrounding Michael Curry's death were also part of the inquiry.
As the investigation progressed, the family's narrative of the events came to light. The mother of Jaydah and Joshua stated her belief that her son-in-law, Michael Curry, was responsible for the deaths of her two children. According to her account, an argument escalated, leading to Michael fatally shooting Jaydah and Joshua. She further asserted that Jaydah, in her final moments, managed to fight back and was responsible for her husband's death before she succumbed to her own injuries. While the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office did not publicly confirm these specific details, the investigation centered on the belief that the incident was contained within the home and that Michael Curry was the primary actor in the double homicide before his own death. No other suspects were sought in connection with the case, and therefore, no arrests were made. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was tasked with conducting autopsies to determine the official causes of death for all three individuals.
