Police: Woman charged with murder in man's shooting death

Corey Proctor's mother 'cried and smiled' when she learned of arrest

BRUNSWICK, Fla. – A woman was arrested Thursday in connection with last month's shooting death of a 22-year-old man in Glynn County, authorities said. 

Tiffany Renee Brown, 32, is charged with murder. 

Hunters found Corey Proctor, of Brantley County, dead inside a green Dodge Stratus the morning of March 17 on the north end of Golden Isles Parkway, according to the Glynn County Police Department.

Investigators said Proctor suffered a fatal gunshot wound.

As the result of the initial investigation, police said, Brown was taken into custody and booked Thursday into the Glynn County jail.

Proctor's mother, Ann Proctor, described the arrest as bittersweet, saying although it's good news, she'll never fully have closure.

"I cried and smiled at the same time," she told News4Jax by phone on Friday. "I felt a little bit of relief."

But the mother said she need answers after her son, who she described as a loving father of three children, was killed.

“I’ve never seen her or heard her name before until all of this happened," Ann Proctor said, adding that she heard Brown, a mother herself, previously worked with her son.

Proctor's mother said she has questions she would like to ask Brown.

"Was taking my son's life really worth your freedom? Was it worth not being able to spend time with your children every day?" she said. "Because you know what? I don't think I could do anything to get that taken away from me."

Detectives continue to investigate the case, and Ann Proctor continues to fight to get justice for her son.

"I just don't think they should be able to live their life freely," she said. "They took my child's life, and they need to pay for it."

Police ask anyone with information about the case to call the Criminal Investigations Division at 912-554-7802 or the Silent Witness line at 912-264-1333.
