John Joseph Lamey, a 45-year-old White male from Greenville, Georgia, died on December 19, 2015, at his home in Meriwether County. The picture that emerges from the available online reporting is of a man whose life was rooted in work and family. He had been born on January 5, 1970, in Cattaraugus County, New York, lived for a time in Newnan, and then made his home in Meriwether County in 1999.
He worked as a building contractor, owned JD Custom Contracting, and was remembered by his family as someone who enjoyed hunting and deep-sea fishing. His death left behind a wife, children, grandchildren, his mother, and siblings, with a memorial service held the following week in nearby Senoia.
What makes the case feel especially stark is that online sources also place his death within the record of gun violence in Greenville on that same date. Public memorial-style databases tied to gun-violence tracking list John Lamey as having been lost to gun violence on December 19, 2015, in Greenville, which gives the death a darker outline than the obituary alone provides. Even so, the surviving public-facing information is thin, and the fuller circumstances of what happened that day are not clearly laid out in the reputable sources that remain easily accessible online.
As for arrests, suspects, or prosecutions, I did not find any trustworthy online news report, law-enforcement release, or court-linked public source that identified a suspect in John Lamey’s death or documented an arrest, charge, trial, or conviction tied to this case. Based on the online sources I was able to verify, the public record appears to confirm his identity, the date and place of death, and the indication that gun violence was involved, but it does not clearly show that anyone was publicly named or brought to justice in connection with his death.
