DODGE COUNTY, Ga. — Two men face charges of murder and aggravated assault after a December shooting in Dodge County.
According to a news release from the GBI, they were arrested Tuesday and identified as 30-year-old Carl Ivey Jr. and 22-year-old Corneilous Smith.
Those charges are the result of an investigation into a shooting in the Sunset Community on Dec. 30, 2020. Demonte Ivey was killed in the shooting, and Alize Lampkin was injured.
