Roland Suckoo, a 41-year-old Georgia man, faces two counts of malice murder for the December 12, 2025, deaths of his girlfriend Connie Jackson, 33, and her 11-year-old daughter Arielle Davis in DeKalb County. Police initially investigated the scene at a Chatfield Drive townhome as a murder-suicide but reclassified it as a double homicide after further review.​
Incident Overview
The shooting occurred around 1:15 a.m., leaving a gruesome scene where Jackson and Davis were found shot dead; Suckoo was injured but survived and was hospitalized before facing charges. Authorities described it as a domestic incident with no motive released publicly.​
Family Statements
Jackson had called her mother, Artelar Jackson, shortly before the shooting, saying she had packed her bags to leave Suckoo because she was “tired” and “done.” Artelar noted Jackson left behind a six-month-old daughter, whom she is now caring for.​
Victim Memorials
A GoFundMe described Jackson as a loving mother, daughter, and friend, while Arielle was a bright, joyful child; the post emphasized the senseless devastation to their loved ones. Neither deserved the tragedy, according to supporters.
