STATESBORO, Ga. (WSAV) — The Statesboro Police Department is reaching out to the public for help in locating a suspect involved in a shooting incident in Screven County.

Officers were dispatched to 200 Lanier Drive early on Saturday morning, around 1:00 a.m., to respond to reports of gunfire.

Upon arrival, they found 30-year-old Deontre Mincey, who had tragically succumbed to a gunshot wound.

Following the shooting, police reviewed surveillance footage which showed several witnesses near the scene. In a statement released on Sunday, authorities described the investigation as “complicated” due to the absence of witnesses when officers arrived.
