Deputy Loren Lilly, 41, was headed south on Powder Springs Road near Baltimore Place about 5:40 a.m. when his green Honda Civic collided with another car that had veered from its lane, Marietta police said.
Lilly's car overturned several times, and he was killed at the scene, said Officer Casey Camp.
The two men in the second car, a white Ford Taurus, ran away before police arrived.
Both men were later arrested.
Along with a vehicular homicide charge, the driver, Joel Camacho Perea, 27, of Marietta faces charges of hit and run, failure to maintain lane and driving without a license.
The passenger, Maurilio Herrera, 23, was charged with a misdemeanor count of falsely reporting a crime to police, Camp said.
Lilly, of Marietta, had worked for the sheriff's department since 1989 and was assigned to the jail division.
Cobb Sheriff Neil Warren said in a news release that it was a "tragic accident," and he described Lilly as a "fine deputy."
Camp said that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has placed a hold on the two men, who were being held Sunday nght at Cobb County Jail.
Immigration is interested in these two... maybe because they're the "I I" word...?
I have it on good authority from a depressing number of FR regulars that there's nothing to be upset about here since it's just a "dead pig."
Who needs terrorists when we have undocumented friends like these.

They'd be wrong.
Makes you wonder how many belong to both groups.
BS. I have been on this forum for years and have never seen anyone express that sentiment. And if I did, I would call them on it..
Mexicans are the worst drivers on the planet, leaving hundreds of corpses in their wake in the border states each year. Now they are spreading the plague of their drunk, irresponsible driving all over the country. I've had children in my classroom tell me how many wrecks they've been in because their fathers, uncles, or grandfathers were driving drunk after family parties. Disgusting.
My wife used to teach at a school with a lot of kids of this persuasion. Probably heard the same kind of stories as well.
