Murder suspects arrested after bullet-riddled body found at neighborhood entrance

Two Cartersville men are charged with murder in the death of a man found Friday morning near the entrance to the Jackson Glen subdivision in Butts County.

Steven Alford Jacobs and Emmanuel James Nesbitt were arrested and charged Saturday with killing Curtis A. Pitts, 31, also of Cartersville.

“The investigation did in fact reveal that (neither) the victim nor the suspects had any ties to the Butts County community,” the Butts County Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook Saturday.

Butts sheriff’s deputies and the GBI have been investigating Pitts’s death since his bullet-riddled body was found.

Sheriff Gary Long thanked the Bartow County Sheriff’s Office for its help identifying and locating the suspects.

Additional charges are expected, according to the sheriff’s Facebook post.

No motive was immediately released.
