CAMDEN COUNTY, GA – The Georgia Bureau of Investigation released just over 3 minutes of an almost 4-hour recording which shows an incident involving the Camden County Sheriff’s Office where shots were fired just seconds after breaching a home during the execution of a search warrant in the early morning hours of May 4.
According to a press release, “On Tuesday, May 4, 2021, the GBI was requested by the Camden County Sheriff’s Office to investigate an officer involved shooting.
Preliminary investigation reveals that at approximately 4:51 a.m., the Camden County Sheriff’s Office was executing a drug related search warrant in the 12000 block of U.S. Highway 17 in Woodbine, GA. Law enforcement knocked and announced themselves before making entry into the residence. Upon entry, there was an exchange of gunfire between the occupants of the residence, identified as Varshawn Lamont Brown, age 46, and Latoya Denise James, age 37, and law enforcement. During the incident, Brown was injured and transported to the hospital. James was shot and died at the scene.
The GBI will conduct an independent investigation. Once completed, it will be turned over to the Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office for review.”
Unfortunately, the body cam they released, which is being worn by Officer Downy Casey, is completely blocked by a shield they are holding – gunshots can still be heard.
There will be no sound for the first ~30 seconds.
