Another suspect, 43-year-old Daniel Miller of Kingsland, is also charged with murder and aggravated assault. He was already in custody on firearms charges linked to the shooting at the time of his arrest.

Ruffell was found shot inside his Forest Ridge Drive home about 12:20 a.m. Nov. 3, the Kingsland Police Department previously reported. He was taken to an area hospital but did not survive.

The case is currently the subject of an ongoing investigation by the GBI with assistance from the Camden County Sheriff’s Office and Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
