A shooting at the Magnolia Acres Housing Authority Complex in Waynesboro, Georgia, on the evening of November 27, 2019, left 17-year-old Tacorey Brigham dead. The shooting occurred about 8:15 p.m.; Brigham, an African American male from nearby Girard, was pronounced dead at the scene after officers from the Waynesboro Police Department and Burke County deputies responded.

The Waynesboro Police Department and Burke County Sheriff’s Office jointly investigated. Officers canvassed the neighborhood to interview possible witnesses, and the sheriff’s office handled processing of evidence from the scene. Authorities offered a $2,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

An arrest was later made: 18-year-old Charles Edward Brown was taken into custody in connection with Brigham’s killing and the case was prepared to move through the judicial system. If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information that could help the case, please come forward.
