Share news:

In Lovejoy, Georgia, a tragic incident unfolded early Saturday morning, leaving one man dead and sparking an investigation. It all started around 8:30 a.m. when a Lovejoy Police Officer noticed something unusual — a car sitting in a county parking lot. The officer decided to check things out and approached the vehicle.

Inside the car was a 40-year-old man named Jean A. Cesar, from Hampton. As the officer got closer, they noticed something alarming: Cesar appeared to be handling a handgun, racking its slide. This is when things took a dangerous turn.

The officer called out to Cesar, ordering him to put the gun down. Instead of complying, Cesar allegedly pointed the weapon at the officer. Faced with a direct threat, the officer fired their weapon. Cesar was hit and tragically died at the scene.

Authorities have confirmed that Cesar’s body is being sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s (GBI) Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy. Meanwhile, the GBI is taking the lead on an independent investigation to determine exactly what happened. Once the investigation is complete, the case will be handed over to the Clayton County District Attorney’s Office for further review.
