Two alleged gang members in Georgia have been charged with the murder of a former high school soccer star who was killed by a stray bullet while working at a bar more than a year ago.

Tsion Clayton, 23, and Kimone Green, 21, were both charged with one count of malice murder on Tuesday for the killing of 21-year-old Brianna Long, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) said in a press release. Long, a Valdosta State University student, was closing up at the Pier in Remerton — about 40 miles north of the Florida border — along with a male co-worker when a fight outside the bar led to gunfire around 2:30 a.m. Oct. 29, 2023.

The alleged killers were already in custody for unrelated cases when investigators identified them as the suspects in Long’s death and issued arrest warrants. Authorities said one suspect is being held in Georgia and the other in Florida.
