Investigation Summary
Just after Midnight on July 13th, 2025, members of the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office were contacted and made aware that a victim of a possible attack had arrived at Piedmont Newnan Hospital for treatment. Deputies arrived at the hospital to speak with the victim who informed them that the incident had occurred earlier at Whitlock Park off International Park.
Over the next several hours CCSO investigators collected further information that lead them to identify the alleged attacker as Anthony Richardo Morrison, 35, of Palmetto.

As of July 15th, 2025, Morrison remains in jail without bond.
