Loganville, GA (August 4, 2019) – On Saturday, August 3, 2019, the GBI was requested by the Braselton Police Department to investigate an officer involved shooting.

Preliminary information indicates that Braselton Police Department officers were searching for Aigon Andrew Wallace, 25, who was wanted for kidnapping, aggravated assault, and aggravated stalking. At approximately 2:58 p.m., Braselton PD officers located Wallace in a parked vehicle in the Kroger parking lot at 910 Athens Highway in Loganville. When officers made contact with Wallace, he attempted to flee and resisted arrest.
