Ahmod Hatcher
Ahmod Hatcher, 23, was a son whose loss, his mother said, tore a piece of her heart out. He was held at Washington State Prison in Davisboro, Georgia, where fights broke out on Sunday, January 11, 2026, and he was one of three people who died. His mother said he had warned her about unsafe conditions inside the prison and was scared for his life before the attack. The Georgia Department of Corrections described the violence as a suspected gang-affiliated disturbance, and the cause of the deaths is pending autopsies by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. His family is demanding answers and accountability about how it happened.
Cause of death, as reported: Killed by another person in custody. The Georgia Department of Corrections says he was killed in a suspected gang-affiliated fight, and the Washington County Sheriff's Office said fights broke out among people held at the prison.
Reported by: Georgia Department of Corrections (the agency that held him); Washington County Sheriff's Office.
