The Tifton Police Department sent out a press release Thursday that says 22-year-old Demarcus Laquan Brown, of Sylvester, was arrested by Worth County deputies for the shooting death of 21-year-old Hannah Beth Patterson, of Ty Ty.

Police say the shooting stemmed from an estranged relationship between Brown and Patterson, which had been broken off by Patterson.
Just after 10:45 p.m. Wednesday, Tifton police responded to the intersection of 5th street and Tift Avenue for a gunshot victim.

Upon arrival, officers found a female, identified as Patterson, in the driver seat of her vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds. Police say she was pronounced deceased at the scene.
