A domestic dispute turned deadly in Georgia on the evening of June 14, 2025, after a couple’s heated argument was streamed live on Facebook, ultimately culminating in the deaths of both individuals involved.
At approximately 8:00 p.m., authorities received multiple calls reporting a disturbing live video posted by 36-year-old Jameal, during an argument with his 27-year-old wife, Zaria. The live broadcast, viewed by several users in real-time, showed the couple engaging in a highly volatile confrontation that included accusations of infidelity, domestic violence, and other personal issues.
According to preliminary investigations, the situation escalated when Jameal brandished a knife and threatened Zaria on the livestream. Despite his demands for her to stop speaking, she continued, prompting him to abruptly end the broadcast. Moments later, he reportedly attacked and fatally stabbed Zaria inside their residence.
After the assault, Jameal fled the scene in his vehicle. A short time later, he allegedly turned the weapon on himself. Emergency responders located him and transported him to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities confirmed that Zaria’s final Facebook post, made just hours before the incident, read: “I really don’t know what to do .. but I need help before I lose my life or freedom! My kids need me.” This message is now being examined as a potential plea for help in an ongoing situation of domestic violence.
Local law enforcement and domestic violence advocates are urging the public to recognize the signs of abusive relationships and speak out or seek assistance before situations escalate. Support services and counseling are being offered to the family and community members affected by this tragedy.
The couple leaves behind young children, who are currently in the care of relatives as child protective services assess their immediate needs.
