Previous reports: Emerson man dies following home invasion; he was found along I-75 earlier Sunday
From Emerson Police Chief Stan Bradley: “On 01/17/16 at approx 5:15 a.m., a home invasion robbery occurred at a residence off of 11th Street in Emerson. I want to stress to Emerson residents that this was an isolated incident. It is apparent that the victim knew his assailants and was targeted by them due to a disagreement. At this point, there is no reason for anyone to expect any other actions by these assailants within the city. The Emerson Police, GBI and other law enforcement agencies are involved in the investigation. Rest assured that the Emerson Police will still be conducting patrol functions and be available for service. Your safety is our priority and we will conduct business with this goal in mind.”
A multiagency investigation is under way into what could be a homicide in the Emerson area earlier Sunday.
