MOULTRIE GA. (WTXL)-- Police have charged a man in connection with the Moultrie shootings that left 2 injured and 1 dead.

The Moultrie Police Department said that Randall Lyles has been charged in the death of 27-year-old Anthony Lee.

Around 3:30 a.m., Moultrie police received a call for loud music in the area. However, before they found the music, they heard gunshots. Officers said they were then redirected to the 200 Block of 4th Street in Moultrie Georgia.

When they arrived, they found that Lee and brothers Rakeem and Randall Lyles had been shot.  They were sent to a Colquitt Regional Medical Center to receive medical treatment where Lee later died as a result of his injuries. 

Randall Lyles has been charged with felony murder and other charges related to gun possession. Rakeem Lyles was released from the hospital on Sunday and transferred to the Colquitt County Jail for an outstanding probation warrant. 

Agents also learned that the loud music might have been an after party where an altercation had taken place between some attendees after they had left a local club earlier in the evening. 

Moultrie Police requested Georgia Bureau of Investigation's assistance in the investigation. They are in the process of conducting interviews and gathering more information.

As more details become available, this story will be updated. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Moultrie Police Department at (229) 985-3131 or the Thomasville GBI Regional Office at (229) 225-4090.
