Brunswick Police Shoot Armed 18-Year-Old Suspect After Foot Chase

Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) agents are investigating an officer-involved shooting that occurred on March 19, 2025, in Brunswick, Glynn County.

According to preliminary reports, 18-year-old Larry Labraun Kirkland was involved in a shooting at a home on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. before fleeing the scene. Brunswick Police officers located Kirkland shortly after, but he ran from them, leading to a foot chase that ended in the yard of a home in the 2700 block of Wolfe Street.

Officers attempted to arrest Kirkland and saw that he had a firearm. One officer deployed a taser, while another fired at Kirkland, striking him. He was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. No officers were injured.

The GBI is conducting an independent investigation, and once completed, the case will be reviewed by the Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office.
