Committee passes resolution to rename Georgia 400 at Holcomb Bridge Road for fallen Roswell officer
Summary
A legislative committee approved Senate Resolution 231 to rename the intersection of Georgia 400 and Holcomb Bridge Road in honor of Roswell Police Officer Jeremy Levante, who was killed on duty. The resolution passed by voice vote and will be memorialized with a commemorative sign.
A legislative committee voted to approve Senate Resolution 231, a measure to rename the intersection of Georgia 400 and Holcomb Bridge Road in memory of Roswell Police Officer Jeremy Levante.
Senator (unnamed) told the committee Officer Levante “was 24 years young” and described how Levante was shot after exiting his patrol vehicle. “It is my hope and prayer by us naming it, the family will always know that not only we have their backs, but we'll be with them forever and care for them,” the senator said during remarks to the committee.
The committee chair said a new sign design will note the action by the 2025 General Assembly. A committee member moved to pass the resolution; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote with no opposition recorded.
The senator said family members and public-safety colleagues had been hosted at the Capitol earlier in the week, and that scholarship funds and community programs have been established in Levante’s honor. Committee members described the renaming as a small token recognizing his service.
The committee chair requested that members sign the formal house rules form authorizing the committee action; staff indicated the resolution paperwork would be circulated and the signage details finalized.
No roll-call vote or recorded individual ayes/noes were provided in the meeting text; the committee approved the resolution by voice vote.
