Tragedy struck the town of Newnan, Coweta County, when a local woman was found shot dead inside a business establishment. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has since made an arrest in connection with the death. The victim, identified as Olivia Faith Robinson, 28, of Newnan, was discovered on the evening of September 20, following a report of a shooting at Oz Tactical on East Court Square. According to a statement released by the GBI, Robinson suffered a fatal gunshot wound.
In response to this critical incident, the Newnan Police Department called upon the GBI for investigative support. Dispatched around 9:20 p.m. to the location, officers arrived to find the unfortunate scene that later called to how Owens allegedly took Robinson's life. The GBI's subsequent inquiry led to the arrest of William Brannon Owens, 38, also from Newnan, who now faces charges of aggravated assault and murder. Informed by the GBI, Owens has been booked into the Coweta County Jail.
The investigation remains in full swing, encouraging anyone with pertinent information to come forward. The regional investigative office in Columbus can be contacted at 706-565-7888, as can anonymous tips be submitted via a toll-free number, online, or through the 'See Something, Send Something' mobile app.
The road ahead includes a thorough review of the case by the GBI, culminating in the case file being handed over to the Coweta County District Attorney's Office, responsible for prosecution. The regional investigative office of the GBI, which was alleged to have taken Owens into custody, continues to investigate through evidence. As the Newnan Police Department and the GBI continue their collaborative efforts, the justice for Robinson is actively pursued.
