GA Teen Accused In Murder Plot Against Student Charged

CARROLLTON, GA — A 17-year-old Georgia student was arrested this week after being accused of conspiring with two other juveniles to kill another student.

The Carroll County Sheriff's Office said Dylan Gable, a Mount Zion High School student in Carrollton, is facing charges after being accused in the suspected murder plot.

Authorities and Carroll County school officials responded Friday to Mount Zion regarding a potential threat, according to the sheriff's office.

Gable was accused of seriously threatening students at Mount Zion and Central High School. His property was searched during an investigation, and the families of the involved students were contacted, authorities said.

The sheriff's office said it uncovered "alarming conversations" involving two other juveniles that specified the murder plot against the victim. Authorities said the conversations, which were not publicly revealed, detailed plans to carry out the plot outside of school.

Gable was ultimately charged on suspicion of terroristic threats and acts and criminal attempt to commit a felony (murder), authorities said. Carroll County Jail records showed Gable was denied bond and remained incarcerated on Thursday.

Authorities said they are not identifying the two other juveniles being accused due to their ages.

“We take every potential threat seriously, and our response demonstrates our unwavering commitment to student safety,” Glen Harding, Carroll County Schools assistant superintendent of Support Services, said in a news release. “Our partnership with law enforcement enables us to address concerns effectively and maintain a safe school environment.”

Authorities asked parents, students and staff members to report concerning behavior to school officials or law enforcement.
