CAMILLA, Ga. (WALB) — The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) is working a stabbing in Camilla that left one man dead and another injured.

The deceased victim has been identified by family members as 48-year-old Adrian Kimbrough.

His sister, Carlissia Gaines, says she learned something had happened when someone knocked on her door just after 3 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11.

Gaines says she went to the scene, and investigators were already there. She says family members were told Kimbrough had been identified through his fingerprints, but they have not been able to see him.

“Right now, we don’t really know nothing,” Gaines said. “Police or GBI hasn’t told us anything. They say they’re still investigating.”

WALB has learned investigators may be reviewing circumstances surrounding an alleged attempt to force entry into a home before the stabbing. However, details surrounding what led to the deadly encounter have not been independently confirmed.

Gaines says the family has heard different accounts about what happened, but she does not know whether Kimbrough was shot or stabbed.

“Somebody was there. Somebody knows what happened,” she said. “And I need to know what happened to my brother.”

Kimbrough’s brother also says the family is waiting for more information. He says he recently spoke with a GBI special agent who told him investigators would not be able to provide more information or complete their investigation until after the autopsy.

The brother says he’s unsure exactly how Kimbrough died. He says he heard there was no apparent gunshot wound, but the family is still waiting for answers about what happened.

The family also shared their grief over the loss of a loved one they say played an important role in their lives.

Gaines described her brother as someone who was loved by his family and helped care for children in the family.

“He’s an uncle to a lot of people, babysitter to all his cousins’ kids,” Gaines said. “He did work around here for everybody.”

She says Kimbrough was supposed to help her prepare for a yard sale this weekend.

“I’m here doing it by myself,” she said.

Both family members say they want answers as the investigation continues.

WALB has reached out to the GBI and the Camilla Police Department for additional information. We will update this story as more details become available.
