A man from Byron, Quinton Owens, has died following a shooting incident that occurred early Saturday morning in Fort Valley, as reported by the local police department.
Authorities were dispatched to a residence on Pecan Avenue after receiving a report of gunfire aimed at a supposed intruder. Upon arrival, they found Owens with gunshot wounds, as well as a distraught woman near a firearm in her front yard.
Coroner Kerry Rooks confirmed that Owens, aged 67, was taken to Atrium Health Navicent, where he was pronounced dead at approximately 3 a.m. The investigation revealed that Shawn Evans, 55, had allegedly shot Owens, believing him to be breaking into her home.
