The Statesboro Police Department investigation into the shooting death of Larry Chapman, which began on September 1, 2023 at the Connection Apartments, on Stambuck Lane, has continued throughout the month of September. Multiple individuals were interviewed and all of the physical evidence examined. Detectives consulted with attorneys of the Ogeechee Judicial Circuit’s District Attorney’s Office regarding their findings.
The facts of the investigation support a finding that Chapman’s death resulted from an act of self-defense by another party. No charges will therefore be brought against the individual who fired the fatal shots.
