A Trenton, Georgia, man now faces a murder charge after authorities accused him of shooting two people, prompting an hourslong manhunt Tuesday and the closure Wednesday of Dade County schools.
Colbin Quinn Davis, 28, was arrested around 8:45 p.m. Tuesday and originally charged with two counts of aggravated assault, according to a Dade County Sheriff’s Office press release and state warrants.
Sheriff’s deputies responded around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday to a home in the 400 block of Michaels Road, where they found two men outside with apparent gunshot wounds, the press release said. The two were moved to a nearby hospital for treatment.
