In the early morning hours of November 3, 2020, gunfire was reported inside a home on Forest Ridge Drive in Kingsland, Georgia. Officers found 34-year-old Ernest Zack Ruffell suffering from a gunshot wound; he was transported to Southeast Georgia Health System in St. Marys and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Authorities described Ruffell as a father, son and brother who enjoyed fishing and football.

The Kingsland Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation opened a homicide investigation and initially had no suspects. On November 30, 2020, the GBI announced arrests: 43-year-old Daniel Berdan Miller and a 17-year-old female, Ashanti VaKeisha Hollerman (listed as Ashanti Va'Keisha Hollerman in some reports), were charged with murder and aggravated assault. Miller had been jailed on unrelated charges since November 4, and Hollerman was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals on November 18. The Camden County Sheriff’s Office and Naval Criminal Investigative Service assisted in the probe.

Are there readers who knew Ernest or who have information about the events on November 3, 2020?
