Murder Off Central Ave.
Man Shot To Death Early Today; Suspect Is In Jail
A man is dead and another is in sheriff's custody following a shooting on the east side of Ware County early today, said Ware County Sheriff Ronnie McQuaig.
A 46-year-old man was shot and killed early today at a residence off Central Avenue, said McQuaig. Lawmen were called to the scene at 6:45 this morning, he said.
"Right now we have one man in custody and one man dead of a gunshot wound. It was definitely a homicide," said McQuaig. "We are right now trying to get in touch with the man's family but we are having to go into another county to do that."
McQuaig said he is not sure if the two men were related or connected by circumstance or what the motive for the shooting was.
"We are in the process of questioning the man we have in custody at this time," McQuaig said. "Until we can notify the next of kin and get more information, we can't say more than that."
Detectives and other Ware County Sheriff's Department employees were still at the scene of the shooting at 9 o'clock this morning and Ware County Emergency Medical Technicians were also at the home.
