Preliminary information indicates that on October 27, 2025, at about 12:00 a.m., a Wrightsville Police Department officer was talking with a man outside the SideTrack convenience store on East College Street in Wrightsville, Johnson County, GA, when Diamond Daspin Seltzer, age 32, of Wrightsville, GA, arrived at the store in his vehicle.
