Man, 25, dies in LaGrange shooting on North Cary Street

Authorities are searching for the gunman who killed a 25-year-old LaGrange man Sunday night near his North Cary Street home, according to LaGrange police.

Quentin D Williams was transported to Well Star Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead of multiple gunshot wounds.

Authorities said they responded shortly after 7 p.m. Sunday to the area of 51 North Cary St. to check on a gunshot wound victim. Upon arrival, they found Williams lying wounded on a sidewalk in the same block as his home.

Officials said the initial investigation revealed that Williams was speaking with a young man in the area just prior to shots being fired. After the shots rang out, witnesses said the victim was lying on the sidewalk and the suspect was running from the scene, heading toward Hogansville Road.

Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact the LaGrange Police Department or Troup County Crime Stoppers.
