One dead, one charged following Monday night shooting on Hutto Road

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation provided a release in the last hour explaining the incident and how a man died from injuries sustained during a shooting incident on Monday, and who is responsible for the incident.

The GBI reported that Antonio Johnson, 29, of a Hutto Road address, was shot and later died from the injuries sustained during a home invasion on Monday night.

Officers from the Polk County Police and Cedartown Police responded to the scene on Monday sometime after 8 p.m., and officers found Johnson injured and immediately got him help. Johnson was later airlifted by Lifeflight to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta for further treatment.

While this was happening, officers were called out to a second home on Hutto Road, where a burglary in progress was reported. There they found the shooter, Brandon Lyle, 30, with a firearm inside of a residence, per the release.

“There was a struggle and eventually Polk County police officers were able to arrest and place Lyle into custody without further incident,” the GBI reported in the release.

Lyle remains in the Polk County Jail on numerous charges, including murder.

The GBI said the investigation is ongoing and will be referred to the District Attorney’s office for prosecution.
