The Remerton Police Department originally requested the GBI on October 29, 2023, at about 2:40 a.m., to investigate the death of Brianna Long and the aggravated assault on another employee at The Pier Bar where the two were working that night when they were both shot. Long died as a result of her injuries. The man later recovered from his injuries. The Valdosta Police Department Crime Scene Unit processed the scene that morning at the request of the Remerton Police Department.
