North Carolina, man arrested in Georgia shooting death
FORT VALLEY, Ga. (AP) - A North Carolina man has been charged with murder in a shooting in Georgia last year that authorities initially said might have been self-defense.
News outlets reported that 58-year-old David Lee Billings was arrested in Bladen County, North Carolina, on Monday and was transferred to Peach County.
Billings is charged with murder in the shooting death of 35-year-old Lloyd Goldie of Fort Valley. He was found in the carport of a house near Byron June 9, 2017.
Authorities said last year that Goldie had been in a confrontation with one of three women at a house. Authorities said it appeared that Billings had intervened in the dispute when Goldie tried to force his way into the house with a .45-caliber pistol.
It was not known if Billings has an attorney.
