Early on Wednesday morning, a man was shot and murdered inside a home on I Street, according to the Brunswick Police Department.

Just before one in the morning, calls from persons claiming to have heard gunfire prompted police to be dispatched to the 1100 block of I Street. Officers responded and assessed the scene, but at the time, no signs of a shooting were discovered, according to Smith.

Later that morning, about 7 a.m., someone discovered a man inside who was unconscious and called to report a medical emergency at 1105 I Street. Upon their arrival, emergency medical personnel discovered that the man had been shot, according to Smith.

Robert Slay, 35, of Brunswick was the victim.

The investigation, according to Smith, is still ongoing. She urged anyone with information to call the police department’s Silent Witness line at 912-264-1333 or Det. Carla Futch at 912-279-2641.

The violence in Brunswick and Glynn County, according to a woman who observed the investigation from the sidewalk of I Street on Wednesday morning, has been worse recently. The woman asked to remain anonymous.

“I’ve never seen it like this,” she remarked. For this, Brunswick is too small.

She declared that it was time for the public to confront the offenders and work with law enforcement to prosecute them. It’s also time to establish a task force to battle violent gangs.
