This excerpt is from an article posted on the WNEG-TV website on Wednesday morning:

“An investigation is underway into the death of the pastor of a Lavonia church. Jonathan Ayers was shot by a member of the Stephens’ County Sheriff’s Office Tuesday afternoon and died later at Stephens County Hospital.”

“According to Stephens County Sheriff Randy Shirley, the Narcotics Unit of the Stephens County Sheriff’s Office was doing a drug buy at the Shell gas station at the corner of Broad and Currahee Streets.”

“Shirley says an officer shot the person involved in the drug transaction as the suspect fled the scene. The man then ran off the road and hit a tree.”

This next excerpt is from an article posted on the WNEG-TV website later that same day:

“Police are now saying that Jonathon Ayers was not the target of a drug investigation. That contradicts what WNEG was told by police on Tuesday.”

I wish the articles told us when it was learned that the incident had been recorded on video
