A routine call to remove an unwanted person on Highway 124 in Hoschton, Georgia, ended in deadly violence in November 2021. Jackson County Deputy Lena Nicole Marshall, 49, and a partner responded to the home where homeowners asked them to remove an individual. The person identified at the scene as 43-year-old Jessica Worsham produced a firearm and opened fire, striking Deputy Marshall.

The partner returned fire and fatally wounded Worsham at the scene. Deputy Marshall was critically injured, taken to a nearby medical center, and died of her wounds on Monday, November 8, 2021, after three days of treatment. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was called to conduct an independent investigation.

Deputy Marshall was a member of the sheriff’s office and is survived by family and colleagues mourning her loss. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Deputy Marshall or the homeowners involved?
