UPDATE: GBI Investigates Death of 21-Year-Old Woman in Remerton, GA

UPDATE – February 25, 2025:

The GBI has charged Tsion Clayton, age 23, of Lowndes County, GA, and Kimone Green, age 21, of Lowndes County, GA, with one count of Malice Murder in connection to the death of Brianna Long on Sunday, October 29, 2023.

The Remerton Police Department originally requested the GBI on October 29, 2023, at about 2:40 a.m., to investigate the death of Brianna Long and the aggravated assault on another employee at The Pier Bar where the two were working that night when they were both shot. Long died as a result of her injuries. The man later recovered from his injuries. The Valdosta Police Department Crime Scene Unit processed the scene that morning at the request of the Remerton Police Department.

The GBI and the Remerton Police Department have been continuously working to solve this case and eventually identified and charged Clayton and Green for the death of Brianna Long.

Both men are in custody for separate, unrelated cases. One is currently in custody in Georgia, and the other is in custody in Florida.

Agents believe the men were in Remerton, Georgia on October 29, 2023, looking for another person related to an ongoing gang dispute. Additional charges are expected in this case as it moves forward.

This case is active and ongoing. Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the GBI Thomasville Office at 229-225-4090.
