In the quiet community of Social Circle, Georgia, a mother's concern for her daughter, 37-year-old Natasha Billings, led to a grim discovery. After not hearing from her for a couple of days, Billings' mother requested a welfare check at her daughter's Skyview Drive home. On October 30, 2023, Newton County Sheriff's deputies, after obtaining a search warrant, entered the residence and found Billings deceased inside. Her death was the result of a gunshot wound, and investigators immediately began treating the case as a homicide.
The investigation quickly pointed to a suspect, 41-year-old Corey Olando Jackson. A 'Be On the Lookout' was issued for Jackson, who was believed to be driving a black Chrysler 300. The Newton County Sheriff's Office announced that Jackson was wanted for murder and aggravated assault in connection with Billings' death. While the exact nature of their relationship was not publicly disclosed, investigators suggested that the violent act was likely a result of domestic violence.
After a month-long search, Corey Olando Jackson was apprehended on November 30, 2023. The U.S. Marshals Service, with assistance from the Newton and DeKalb County Sheriff's Offices, located and arrested Jackson at a home in Decatur. He was taken into custody and booked at the Newton County Detention Center, facing charges of murder and aggravated assault for his alleged role in the death of Natasha Billings.
