Quitman Man Charged in Alleged Double Homicide of Estranged Wife and Daughter

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has apprehended a Brooks County man linked to a double homicide that shocked the town of Quitman, Georgia. Wilbert Mobley, Jr., aged 44, stands accused of fatally shooting his estranged wife Tamiko Mobley, 48, and their daughter Tiaja Mobley, 25. The GBI, in a statement, announced that Mobley faces multiple charges, including two counts each of Malice Murder and Felony Murder, alongside charges of Aggravated Assault and Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Crime.

Sourced from the official press release, the tragic series of events unfolded on Shiver Lane shortly before 10 a.m. last Friday. Law enforcement was dispatched after reports of gunfire at the residence. Upon arrival, deputies discovered the bodies of the mother and daughter, prompting a call for the GBI's involvement. An additional male victim was found suffering from non-fatal injuries after being shot at and struck by debris during the incident.

The GBI's official announcement indicated that Tamiko Mobley had been staying with her daughter following an altercation with her husband the previous night. The ongoing investigation will include autopsies of both victims at the GBI Medical Examiner’s Office to determine the exact cause of death.

Mobley was arrested by officers from the Quitman Police Department who were assisting Brooks County deputies in their response to the 911 call. He was taken into custody outside of the home linked to these violent events. Despite the arrest, the case remains active, and the GBI urges anyone with further information to make contact via their Thomasville office or through anonymous tips submitted online or via their mobile app. The collected evidence and findings of the investigation will eventually be handed over to the District Attorney’s Office of the Southern Judicial Circuit for review and prosecution.
