Two alleged gang members, Tsion Clayton (23) and Kimone Green (21), have been charged with malice murder in the death of Brianna Long (21), a former soccer star and Valdosta State University student. Long was killed by a stray bullet while working at The Pier in Remerton, Georgia on October 29, 2023, during a fight outside the bar. Clayton and Green were already in custody on unrelated charges when investigators linked them to Long's death. Long's co-worker was also injured in the shooting. The GBI believes the suspects were involved in an ongoing gang dispute. Additional charges are expected. Long was a standout soccer player and regional winner for Positive Athlete Georgia. Her mother, Brandi Spinks, has established the Brianna Long Foundation to honor her daughter's legacy and promote dental care initiatives.
