Athens-Clarke County police have charged an Athens man with murder following the death of a man he allegedly shot.
Anthony Brown was arrested early on the morning of March 5 and charged with aggravated assault in a shooting on Northview Drive. When police responded to the scene they found 24-year-old Ja’Vanni McDavid of Athens wounded. EMS transported him to an Athens area hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Police were notified this week that McDavid died as a result of his injuries and upgraded the charges against Brown. Online jail records show the 19-year-old Brown also faces two misdemeanor probation violations for terroristic threats. He’s being held in the Clarke County Jail without bond.
