Keith Wesley Brannen, 43, was shot during a late-night altercation at a friend’s home in Clito, Bulloch County, Georgia, on April 22, 2014. Deputies found Brannen on the ground with a severe gunshot wound to the head and airlifted him to a Savannah hospital in critical condition; he died eight days later on April 30, 2014.

James Jeffrey Stubbs, 52 at the time, was discovered heavily intoxicated in the home and, after being awakened, made statements admitting to the shooting and saying Brannen had threatened to stab him. Investigators found no evidence that a stabbing occurred. Several firearms were recovered from Stubbs’ residence, and he was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in addition to aggravated assault, later upgraded to felony murder after Brannen’s death. Stubbs was denied bond and ultimately pleaded guilty to the fatal shooting.

Anyone who knew Keith, frequented that area in April 2014, or has additional information about the events that led to the shooting is asked to come forward.
