Details are still emerging about the murder of two people on Highway 100 in Summerville on Tuesday of this week.  Thirty-five-year-old Joe Edward Brown and his mother, sixty-one-year-old Linda Mae Everett were shot dead at their home on Tuesday morning.

Forty-six-year-old Daryl Lee Marsh was shot and injured and was transported by Redmond EMS to a hospital in Rome.  On Thursday evening, Chattooga County Sheriff Mark Schrader told WZQZ News that Marsh is still in “serious” condition.   Schrader said that the sheriff’s department has not been able to talk with Marsh due to the seriousness of his injuries.  The sheriff said that they are constantly monitoring Marsh’s condition and “just as soon as he is able to talk” they will have an investigator there to speak with him.

Marsh is the only surviving witness to the crime and the sheriff said that he does not want to release much more information until they are able to speak with Marsh.

The sheriff did tell WZQZ News that murder suspect Steven James Mauldin was an acquaintance of  Brown and Marsh and that he had been staying at their residence for “a couple of days” before the murders took place.

WZQZ News will continue to follow this story and we will have more information as it becomes available.
