WAYNESBORO, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - The suspect in a Burke County fatal shooting won’t be facing charges, a grand jury has decided.
District Attorney Jared Williams told News 12 on Friday that a grand jury returned a “no bill” for Hannah G. Cobb, who was arrested Feb. 25 on a charge of felony involuntary manslaughter in connection with the fatal shooting of her boyfriend, Telvin Osborne, 30.
The case was presented to a grand jury on April 24, but the grand jury decided not to pursue formal charges.
That doesn’t necessarily mean formal charges can’t be filed later, but Williams appears inclined to follow the grand jury’s lead.
“As the Grand Jury has spoken, the case is closed,” he said in a statement.
Earlier this month, Cobb had been granted a $25,000 bond, level 1 monitoring, and told to surrender all firearms to law enforcement.
Deputies say that around 5:45 a.m. Feb. 23, they responded to the 800 block of 4 Points Road in Keysville to investigate a report of a shooting.
According to 911 recordings, Cobb told an operator she was either “clearing or cleaning” her gun when it went off and hit Osborne.
However, days later, Sheriff Alfonzo Williams said there was no evidence or information about a person cleaning a gun before the incident happened. Williams said alcohol was involved, and authorities weren’t listing the shooting as accidental.
Some different versions of the story came out at a March hearing – Cobb’s first public appearance since her arrest on a felony charge of involuntary manslaughter.

Cobb’s family said the relationship was chaotic with aspects of emotional and occasional physical abuse and allegations of cheating against Osborne.
The prosecution said the incident happened after the pair had been out until 2 a.m. at clubs in Augusta.
Cobb told deputies she was checking her 9 mm pistol as she and Osborne did every night, when it went off, hitting Osborne. She said she thought the safety was on, according to a report from deputies.
She also acknowledged she and Osborne had been arguing that night and that led to a physical altercation. Cobb’s friends said she got upset when she believed he was talking to another woman.
She provided Ring camera footage that showed them arguing and her telling him to get out, followed by him leaving.
Osborne showed back up at the house, and she told investigators he pulled a knife and threatened her. She even told authorities where to find the 8-inch knife, and they did find it.
The prosecution also described text messages that were exchanged, apparently after she locked him out. Messages from Osborne to Cobb said, “You’d better hide,” the prosecution said.
The defense said Cobb at one point called Osborne’s mother to get her to calm him down, but there was an altercation nonetheless.
The prosecution said she managed to break free and went into a bathroom. She indicated she was going to harm herself, but when he broke into the bathroom, she turned and fired the gun one time at him, the prosecution said.
Cobb was the person who notified authorities of the shooting and was applying pressure to the wound when they arrived.
On the scene, investigators say they found Osborne in the master bedroom with a gunshot wound to the chest.
Investigators say Osborne was pronounced dead at the hospital.
