Jail records identified the suspect as Georgia Jackson, 35. She was not charged and has been released from jail after the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s office said “there needed to be additional investigation completed before a filing decision could be made.”
“Initial indications are that the deceased and the suspect were known to each other and had been involved in an ongoing dispute that tragically escalated into gunfire,” Hall said.
