Two suspects have been charged with the murder of 21-year-old Brianna Long, who was fatally struck by a stray bullet while finishing her bartending shift at The Pier in Remerton, Georgia. Tsion Clayton, 23, and Kimone Green, 21, both of Lowndes County, face one count of malice murder each, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) announced on February 25.
The tragic incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. on October 29, 2023, when gunfire erupted outside the bar. Long, who was inside the bar after it had closed, was hit by a bullet fired from outside. Another bar employee was also injured in the shooting but survived. According to the GBI, the shooting stemmed from an altercation outside the bar, with numerous patrons and multiple vehicles caught in the crossfire.

Long was rushed to the hospital but later succumbed to her injuries. Clayton and Green, who are already in custody on unrelated charges, are believed to have been in Remerton that night searching for someone involved in an “ongoing gang dispute,” the GBI stated. Additional charges are expected as the investigation progresses.
Long, originally from Dallas, Texas, was a dental hygiene student at Valdosta State University and a former high school soccer star, according to reports from WCTV and WSBTV. Her death has left her family, friends, and community in mourning.
