According to the Irwin County Sheriff’s Office, the second suspect was previously wanted and has now been charged with murder and aggravated assault by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation in connection with the death and multiple aggravated assaults that occurred in Ocilla on Saturday, April 4.

The identity of the second suspect has not been released. We are working to learn more information.
