The victim and witnesses provided a thorough description of the perpetrator, ultimately identified as 28-year-old Curtis Terrell Young, as well as the home that Curtis Young entered.

To carry out the inquiry, detectives and crime scene personnel were dispatched to the scene. The house where Curtis Young was found was the subject of a search warrant.
There was discovered evidence linking Curtis Young to the shooting.
Also from a published news from WALB News 10, Curtis Young was taken to the Lowndes County Jail and booked on charges of felony aggravated assault and having a gun while committing a crime.
After receiving care at South Georgia Medical Center, the victim was discharged.
Leslie Manahan, chief of the VPD, said, “We are grateful that the victim and witnesses cooperated in this case. Their cooperation made it possible for our officers to carry out their duties and make the arrest.
Now the perpetrator can face consequences.
