Following a thorough investigation into a drive-by shooting incident that occurred in March, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) apprehended a suspect. The Toccoa Police Department requested GBI’s assistance for an event that transpired on West Whitman Street, where two individuals sustained gunshot injuries around 12:30 a.m. on March 31. The victims received medical treatment and were subsequently discharged from the hospital. Further investigative efforts led officials to conduct a search on April 18 in Athens-Clarke County, near Vintage Court.

This operation was supported by the Athens-Clarke County Police Department and various GBI units, including the regional office in Athens. The search culminated in the arrest of 20-year-old Devaughn Curry, who now faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault, illegal firearm possession during the commission of crimes, aggravated battery, and violations related to the Georgia Street Gang Terrorism Prevention Act.
