A tragic turn of events unfolded in an Oakwood neighborhood where a man, found inside a crashed car with multiple gunshot wounds, was later pronounced dead, becoming the nucleus of a murder investigation. According to FOX 5 Atlanta, the vehicle had careened into the back of a residence on Wild Berry Court late Saturday afternoon; the distressed scene leading to the swift response of the local authorities.
Police were quick to connect the dots, leading to the arrest of 38-year-old Jeremy Gambrel on the same day, he has since been charged with murder, aggravated assault with intent to murder, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and with this development police have assured that there is no ongoing threat to the public. In a separate but concurrent response, Hall County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Flowery Branch Police Department officers converged on the 5000 block of Aster Place where they encountered Gambrel who had sustained a minor injury and the arresting ensued not long after his being found at the scene as police pieced together the violent tableau.
Gambrel, now detained in Hall County Jail, is faced with a litany of severe charges reflective of the grimness in what unfolded on an otherwise quiet residential street; his detainment does not come with the option of bond, signaling the gravity assigned to these events by the legal system. As detailed by Atlanta News First, the crash was reported at about 4:40 p.m., after which the victim, who has yet to be named pending family notification, was taken to Northeast Georgia Medical Center Gainesville where death, the most certain and final of ends, was later declared.
