A Hazlehurst man charged with first degree murder is being held in the Lincoln County jail.

Oliver Brown Jr. surrendered to law enforcement officers late Saturday.

Hazlehurst police responded to a disturbance call on Beasley Street at 5:31 p.m. Saturday and found Jason Youngblood, 37, dead in the middle of the street, authorities said.

Brown turned himself in later that evening.

Hazlehurst Police Chief Byron Swilley said a motive has not been established.

However, Swilley said that witnesses believe that Brown and Youngblood had a disagreement over a pressure washer.

“Youngblood died of a gunshot wound. We want to complete the autopsy before giving out any details,” Swilley said.

Brown is expected to have an initial appearance within the next few days in Hazlehurst.
