A Rossville man is dead and the GBI is investigating the officer involved shooting in Gordon County, Georgia.

Preliminary information indicates Ringgold Police attempted to stop 26 year old Casey Honea for speeding on Interstate 75 southbound. Honea did not stop and a high speed chase continued into Gordon County. Gordon County Sheriff’s Office deputies then took the lead in the pursuit.

Deputies performed a PIT maneuver on Honea’s car that caused it to leave the interstate and go down an embankment. Law officers attempted to take Honea into custody. He reportedly failed to comply with the officers’ commands, making a movement toward his waist… and was shot dead.

The GBI Medical Examiner’s Office will conduct an autopsy. No officers were injured during the incident.
