After nine days of trial, a Webster County jury convicted Taris Hollomon, Sr., Geryl Johnson, James Reels, and Demetrius Williams of charges including murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, violations of the Georgia street gang terrorism and prevention act, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony on Thursday, August 20, 2026.

Judge W. James Sizemore sentenced Hollomon, Johnson, and Williams to life in prison plus five years. Reels, who was not charged with possessing a firearm, was sentenced to life in prison.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Trevor Vanzant, with assistance of District Attorney Lewis Lamb and members of the Gang Prosecution Unit of Attorney General Chris Carr’s Office.

Special thanks to the Webster County Sheriff's Office, Region 3 of Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and SWJC DA’s Office staff, including our DA investigators, victim advocate LeeAnn Austin, and legal secretary Catherine Williams for their hard work and dedication throughout the preparation and trial of this case. We also extend our thanks to the Attorney General’s Gang Prosecution Unit for their invaluable assistance throughout the prosecution of this case and to the citizens of Webster County.

As a new school year approaches, the Webster County Sheriff's Office is proud to partner with the Georgia Sheriffs' Youth Home to help local students start the year strong.

We will be collecting school supply donations at the sheriff's office, and every donation we receive will stay right here in our community to support local children and families as they prepare for the first day of school. You can also visit the link below to donate monetarily to the Georgia Sheriffs' Youth Home online.

In addition to traditional school supplies like backpacks, notebooks, pencils, and crayons, we will also collect personal hygiene essentials such as deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, and feminine hygiene products. These everyday necessities can make a tremendous difference in helping students feel prepared, confident, and ready to learn.

We are so grateful for a community that always steps up to care for its neighbors. By working together, we can help ensure our students begin the school year with hope because every child deserves more than just school supplies. They deserve confidence, stability, and the opportunity to succeed. Thank you for helping us invest in the future of our community, one student at a time!

  Every child deserves more than school supplies. School starts with hope. Back-to-school season is here. For children living at Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Homes, a successful school year takes more […]
