The fatal shooting on Monday of an Athens man was the result of a robbery, said Athens-Clarke County police.

When responding to a report of shots fired in the area of Trail Creek and First streets, an officer located 24-year-old Curry Cole Calloway suffering from a gunshot wound, according to police. Calloway was transported to a hospital by ambulance, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators determined that there was a robbery at a home on First Street, where the person who shot Calloway lived, according to police. That person and another individual at the residence were taken into custody for questioning and later released pending further investigation.

“The roles of the individuals involved in the robbery, the two individuals detained yesterday and Calloway, are still being investigated,” said police spokesman Geof Gilland on Tuesday.

Police withheld the identities of those individuals "to protect the integrity of the case," Gilland said.

Capt. Jerry Saulters, commanding officer of the Criminal Investigations Division, said prosecutors will be consulted about whether any criminal charges would be brought in the case.

“We are still conducting interviews and evaluating physical evidence,” Saulters said. “We will also include the district attorney’s office when discussing the facts surrounding the incident.”

Calloway was a known gang member who was previously arrested for an armed robbery that involved a home invasion at Bethel Midtown Village in 2014. He later pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in a plea bargain and was sentenced to 216 days in jail and 10 years on probation, according to Clarke County Superior Court records.

After several probation violations, Calloway was sentenced to prison, where he served from February 2017 until July, according to the state Department of Corrections.

Police ask that anyone with information about the incident contact Detective Scott Black at (706) 613-3330, ext. 798, or scott.black@accgov.com.
