Deputy Vashion Staley

On October 23, 2015 at 0250 hours, deputies were dispatched to 2415 Cunningham Drive in reference to shots fired. Enroute to the location, Deputy Vashion Staley saw a subject duck behind bushes and a tree at 1913 Tubman Home Road.  Deputy Staley stopped to investigate and found the subject on his hands and knees and a weapon underneath him. The weapon was a S&W M&P 9mm.  Approximately twenty minutes later a victim arrived at Georgia Regents Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the head. Investigators believe the subject that Deputy Staley apprehended is the shooter. The victim is brain dead, but still on life support and not expected to survive.

 

Because of Deputy Staley's attentiveness to the area enroute to the call and his extra effort to stop and investigate, a possible murder suspect and gun were taken off the streets of Richmond County. I would like to commend Deputy Staley for a job well done. Deputy Staley actions are appreciated by this agency and the citizens of Richmond County.
