GRADY COUNTY, Ga. (WTXL) — The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating after a man was found dead at a home in Ocklocknee, Georgia.

On Sunday, around 2:56 pm, the GBI was requested by the Grady County Sheriff’s Office to assist in the investigation into the death of a man who was found at a home off Highway 111 in Grady County.

Agents say a preliminary investigation indicates a domestic dispute led to the victim being shot. The victim was sent for an autopsy at the GBI Crime Lab on Monday.

A suspect has been developed by the GBI and Grady County investigators and criminal charges are expected to be filed.
