A Georgia man was found guilty by a jury for the murder of his wife, who served as a Fulton County Sheriff's deputy, and his brother-in-law because the truth about his alleged infidelity was about to be exposed, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Around 10:20 p.m. on Oct. 21, 2021, officers responded to a home in Covington and found the victims, 28-year-old Shakeema Brown and her 30-year-old brother, Levoy Brown, dead from gunshot wounds, as Front Page Detectives reported.

Police talked with Brown’s husband, 30-year-old Jaquavia Jackson, at the scene, who told authorities that “two unknown men entered the house and killed his wife and her brother.”

During the investigation, authorities learned that Jackson and his wife were subpoenaed to appear in court the next day regarding a paternity test.

Two women believed Jackson had fathered their children. However, Jackson allegedly had another individual complete the DNA tests pretending to be him.

Prosecutors said this court date would have addressed the fake DNA tests and Jackson’s wife would have learned the “truth and extent of his lying and cheating.”

Investigators also reviewed surveillance footage from a neighbor and determined no one entered or exited the Covington home.

Jackson reportedly called a neighbor on the morning of the fatal shootings and asked if his security camera system was working, but the neighbor said it was not, authorities said.

Officials said Jackson “fired a stage shot” in his home to make it seem like he was shooting at intruders.

Investigators determined Jackson shot his wife multiple times while she was wrapped in a blanket on the couch scrolling through her phone in what District Attorney Randy McGinley called a “horrific, premeditated incident.”
