The Wilkes County Sheriff's Office asked the Georgia Bureau of
Investigation to lead the probe into a triple homicide in the
town of Tignall, Georgia, located a few miles west of the
Georgia-South Carolina state line, authorities said.
Wilkes County deputies responded about 8:30 a.m. to a home in
Tignall regarding a report of an injured woman. During the
investigation, they learned the woman had been hurt at another
home and when they went to the second home they found three
people dead inside, the GBI said in a news release.
During the preliminary investigation, the GBI said, agents found
that Shannon Box, 56, of Tignall, allegedly attacked the woman
and they are asking for the public's help in locating him. Box
was last known to be driving a grey 2002 GMC Sierra Pickup Truck
with Georgia Handicap Tag YXA119.
Box is wanted on one count of aggravated assault and questioning
relating to the deaths of the three people found in the second
home.
Anyone with information on Box's whereabouts is asked to call
the Wilkes County Sheriff's office or the GBI.
