Georgia police officer dies of shooting injuries as reward upped to $60K for suspect's capture

After a Georgia police officer died from his injuries sustained after being shot while responding to a domestic dispute, the reward for information leading to the capture of the "armed and dangerous" suspect who still remains on the lam was upped to $60,000 on Tuesday.

Survived by his wife and two young children, he "continues to serve, even in his passing, by donating multiple organs which will save numerous lives," according to the department’s Facebook post. "Please continue to keep Officer Desai’s family in your thoughts and prayers through this terrible tragedy. Funeral arrangements will be released at a later date." 

By Tuesday, the reward for the capture of suspect, 22-year-old Jordan Jackson, had been increased to a total of $60,000, the Henry County Sheriff’s Office announced on Facebook, saying the Henry County Police Department added an additional $30,000 to the preexisting sum of $30,000, which had already included a $5,000 contribution from NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal.
