Three days after his best friend’s funeral, the second officer killed in a double shooting in Americus last week will be laid to rest Wednesday, GBI officials said.
Services for Georgia Southwestern State University Officer Jody Smith will take place at the school’s Student Success Center Storm Dome at 11 a.m.
A brief memorial took place at 11:45 a.m. Monday as Smith’s body was taken through the campus.
Smith and his best friend, Americus police Officer Nicholas Smarr, were killed while responding to a domestic disturbance call. After gunfire with the suspect, the two were found dead.
The shooter, Minquell Kennedy Lembrick, took his life Thursday after an intense manhunt, authorities said.
Smarr’s funeral services were Sunday.
