Older Brother Fatally Shot in Georgia, USA

[The Librarian]

Investigators with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are still trying to figure out what happened to a Telfair County man found shot to death in his home last week.

Earl Seay's bright blue house is still adorned with pieces of red and yellow crime scene tape -- the only signs of what happened there last week.

David Spires manages the apartments across the street. He says he knew Seay years ago, but didn't know anyone lived in the home anymore.

"It gives you chill bumps," he said. "I hope they find out who done it."

Seays' brother found the 67-year-old shot to death last Wednesday. He was a radio dispatcher for the Telfair County Sheriff's Office in the 80's and 90's, according to his obituary.

The obituary also says Seay struggled with alcohol addiction in his later years. He attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and was sober for 16 years. He was also a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses church.

"Earl was a good guy, just always full of life. [He] laughed and always had a joke to tell you," Spires said.

Since Seay was killed, Spires says his tenants have been on edge -- wondering what happened at the blue house across the street from them.

The GBI won't release any further details about how Seay died. The bureau says they don't want to jeopardize their investigation.

WMAZ spoke to some of Seay's family members today. They declined to comment for this story.
