One person was killed and another wounded by Camden County Sheriff deputies executing a drug-related search warrant Tuesday morning.
The warrant was served at a home on the 12000 block of U.S. 17 south of Woodbine at 4:51 a.m. Law enforcement officials knocked on the door and announced themselves before making entry into the home, according to a preliminary investigation report released by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
After deputies entered the home, there was an exchange of gunfire that took the life of 37-year-old Latoya Denise James, who died at the scene. Another occupant, 46-year-old Varshawn Lamont Brown, was wounded during the incident and hospitalized in Jacksonville, Florida. His condition has not been announced.
