Two suspects have been charged with murdering a 21-year-old woman who was finishing up her shift at a Georgia bar when a shooting broke out.

Tsion Clayton, 23, and Kimone Green, 21, both of Lowndes County, GA, have each been charged with one count of malice murder in the death of Brianna Long, theGeorgia Bureau of Investigationannounced on Tuesday, Feb. 25.

Another bar employee was the victim of an aggravated assault in the incident but survived.

Long was inside the bar after it closed when the shooting began. The melee stemmed from an apparent altercation outside, per the GBI. Numerous patrons were outside at the time, and multiple vehicles were shot at, the agency reported.

Long was transported to the hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries.

The men are each already in custody on separate, unrelated charges, GBI said.

Officials believe the men were in Remerton on the night of the killings because they were searching for someone involved in an “ongoing gang dispute.” Additional charges are expected to be filed as the case progresses, per GBI.
