Family of woman killed by deputies in SE Georgia suing county for M

The GBI’s investigation into this incident remains open and ongoing.

The family’s case against the county and sheriff’s office is based on their belief that deputies did not follow Georgia’s laws around serving a no-knock warrant, Sellers confirmed. The case claims that deputies did not have a reasonable need to serve a forceful no-knock search warrant.

“She meant so much to this family. Now, I have a hole in my heart,” James’ mother, Betty Jean Murphy-James, said during a Thursday press conference outside of the Camden courthouse. “She had a beautiful heart. She really did. That was Latoya.”

At the conclusion of its investigation, the GBI will turn its findings over to the Brunswick Judicial Circuit’s District Attorney’s office for review, after which the DA will determine whether the case warrants criminal charges.

The fatal shooting brought traffic to a standstill about 5:15 a.m. just north of the Brookwood interchange. All lanes were shut down for about four hours as police investigated, leading to massive delays in Midtown, Buckhead and all through the northern suburbs, according to the WSB 24-hour Traffic Center. Drivers stuck behind the closure did not move for more than two hours before authorities began turning cars around. Backups stretched all the way to the Ga. 400 merge. An off-duty Jonesboro police officer discovered a dark-colored sedan near the entrance to I-75 North about 5:15 a.m. and found two men with gunshot wounds inside, Atlanta police Capt. Jason Smith said from the scene. One man was pronounced dead. The other was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital and survived his injuries. The officer initially thought he had come across a wreck, but quickly called for backup and tried to help the victims, Smith said. It wasn’t immediately clear Wednesday morning where the shots were fired from. Detectives are still working to piece together what prompted the fatal shooting and identify a suspect. Smith said detectives are trying to interview the surviving victim to find out exactly what happened. “This does not appear to be a random act,” Smith said. “It appears to be a dispute that had escalated.” All lanes reopened about 9:15 a.m. when police finally cleared the crime scene. “We always hate when we have to do that,” Smith said when asked about shutting down the interstate. “Unfortunately, we have to make sure that we process the crime scene appropriately, and it does take time.” (John Spink / John.Spink@ajc.com)rrr”,”type”:”image”,”url”:”https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/ajc/JSJ7MUBYUMJTSSERXGHTAOXYQQ.jpg”,”height”:1918}},”_id”:”ETYM6ENKKZATXLLEFO7UQM7JUU”},{“content_elements”:[{“_id”:”ZWPASFSMPNBAFAJBLRJNHNLIFQ”,”additional_properties”:{“inline_comments”:[],”comments”:[],”_id”:1594677846793},”type”:”text”,”content”:”The pandemic upended the assisted living industry in Georgia and across the country, driving up costs, devastating occupancy rates and creating a marketing nightmare even though many of the private-pay facilities had few COVID-19 deaths.”},{“_id”:”4YJC4CFAAJA5HK5YOVRVKFMGTY”,”additional_properties”:{“inline_comments”:[],”comments”:[],”_id”:1626297563857},”type”:”text”,”content”:”A recent report revealed that Atlanta’s senior housing and assisted living facilities have been among the nation’s hardest hit.
