Hart County, GA Double Homicide Suspect Arrested

Hart County, GA Sheriff Mike Cleveland said that 59-year-old Morris Maurice Norwood was arrested Tuesday after two people were shot to death Monday at about 1 p.m. on Redwine Church Road.

Cleveland said a car pulled up to another car and someone started shooting. The Hart County Coroner identified the victims as Jerece Teasley, 26, from Hartwell and Alexius Spencer, 25, from Bowersville. Cleveland said Teasley died at the scene, while Spencer died after she was air lifted to an area hospital.

Cleveland said a man who was considered a person of interest was taken into custody by a school resource officer at South Hart Elementary School, but was later released. Norwood was not the person of interest, Cleveland said.
