On Nov. 13, Coweta County deputies were involved in a high-speed chase that took them from Coweta County to Fairburn. It all started as an attempted traffic stop but soon turned into a chase, then a deadly shootout.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said 23-year-old Jason Andre Wilson opened fire on deputies and shot Titan multiple times.
Deputies fired back and Wilson and Titan both died at the scene. Titan’s handler, Blaize Henderson, was also injured during the shootout but is recovering.
