By MJ Kneiser, WLHR

A shooting in Royston that occurred early Thursday left one man dead.

According to Police Chief Donnie Boleman it happened just after midnight when two male roommates got into an argument.

“About 12:43a officers were dispatched to the Spring St. townhomes in reference to shots fired. When they arrived the suspect flagged them down. When they went inside, officers rendered aid but unfortunately, the victim did not make it on scene. It was basically a domestic situation. We have one victim who passed away and one in custody,” Boleman said.

The names of the suspect and the victim have not been released and he is not releasing any more details at this time.

Boleman said he has turned the investigaton over to the GBI and they will be releasing more information later.
