Manhunt Underway for Suspect in Pineview Double Homicide
Arrest warrants have been issued for 39-year-old Quintavis Holt in connection with a double homicide that occurred shortly after midnight on May 25, 2025, in Pineview, according to Wilcox County Sheriff Jeff Wessel.
At approximately 12:14 a.m., Holt allegedly arrived at 205 Depot Street, where he encountered Nathadius Lawson, 39, and Charleston Calix, 40, who were socializing in an outbuilding behind the residence. Holt is accused of opening fire, fatally shooting both men before fleeing the scene on foot.
Deputies from the Wilcox County Sheriff’s Office responded immediately and requested assistance from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Witness interviews and residential surveillance footage led investigators to identify Holt as the suspect.
Holt is currently wanted on the following charges:
- Two counts of Malice Murder (Felony)
- One count of Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Crime (Felony)
- One count of Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon (Felony)
- Two counts of Aggravated Assault (Felony)
“Quintavis Holt is considered armed and dangerous,” said Sheriff Wessel. “Violent and senseless crimes like this have no place in Wilcox County. We will not rest until he is taken into custody.”
Anyone with information about Holt’s whereabouts is urged to contact the GBI Tip Line at 1-800-597-TIPS (8477) or the Wilcox County Sheriff’s Office at (229) 467-2322.
