TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. (WSAV) - The Tybee Island Police Department (TIPD) has arrested a woman for allegedly firing a gun into her former boyfriend’s home. At approximately 7:11 p.m. on Friday, January 10, 2025, officers responded to an address on Estill Avenue in reference to a report of shots fired. While canvassing the area, officers found several empty shell casings from a handgun, but did not immediately locate any impact points. The following day, the police were asked to return to the scene for a follow-up. After their arrival, the man pointed out several bullet holes in his garage doors, which had been rolled up while the officers were on scene the night before. Based on information provided by the victim, and the TIPD’s FLOCK license plate reader system, officers were able to quickly identify the victim’s ex-girlfriend, Lauren Francis, as a potential suspect. The Tybee Island Police Department conducted an interview with Lauren Francis, after which she was placed under arrest and charged with Reckless Conduct, Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Crime, Discharging a Firearm Near a Highway or Street, Criminal Damage to Property in the Second Degree and Aggravated Assault under the Family Violence Act. This remains an active investigation. Stay with WSAV News 3 for all the updated information as it is released.
