GBI Arrests Preston Man for the Deaths of Two Children

The GBI has arrested and charged Adan Tzoyohua Panzo, age 36, of Preston, GA, with felony murder, malice murder, & arson. On Saturday, March 30, 2024, the Webster County Sheriff’s Office asked the GBI to investigate the deaths of Panzo’s young daughters (ages 1 & 3).

The investigation shows the Webster County Sheriff’s Office, Webster County Fire and EMS personnel, and the Georgia State Patrol responded to reports of a vehicle on fire at a home on Millard Kennedy Road in Preston, Webster County. After first responders put out the fire, they discovered 2 children dead inside the vehicle. Further investigation led them to arrest Panzo after allegations that he set the vehicle on fire during a domestic dispute with his wife.

Panzo was booked into the Webster County Jail.
