The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has taken the lead in the case and is working with Jesup police and the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office.Takaki would not confirm rumors that the two incidents are related. He said only that the GBI has assigned a team of agents to investigate the death and other agents to investigate the shooting.Two redacted police incident reports shed little light on the death and the shooting.
