Savannah Police investigate Dec. 23 murder-suicide

Savannah Police detectives are investigating what appears to be a murder-suicide that occurred Dec. 23.

Preliminary findings indicate that Devante Daniels, 30, shot Ebony Drayton, 29, and Anthony Jackson, 27, at a residence on the 500 block of Pennsylvania Avenue on Savannah's eastside before returning to a Randolph Street, where he apparently shot himself.

Daniels shared a child with Drayton.

SPD officers found Drayton suffering from life-threatening injuries at the Pennsylvania Avenue resident. She died later as a result of her injuries. Jackson fled from the residence after he was shot. Police located at him Treat Avenue and Mosley Street, where he was transported to a hospital for treatment. He is expected to survive.

Officers then responded to a shooting at the 200 block of Randolph Street and discovered Daniels dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The investigations remain ongoing.
