Former high school football star killed by stray bullet while working at Georgia bar

A former high school football star was tragically killed when he was hit by a stray bullet while working at a bar in Georgia, according to police.

Brianna Long, 21, was closing up at The Pier in Remerton with a co-worker when a fight outside led to gunfire around 2:30 a.m. Sunday, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Long was run over while inside the establishment. She was taken to South Georgia Medical Center, where she later died from her injuries, police said.

Many customers were outside the restaurant at the time of the shooting and several vehicles were also hit by gunfire, the GBI said. No other injuries were reported.

No suspects have been identified and no arrests have been made, the GBI told The Post.

“We continue to follow and lead, interviewing witnesses we identified and processing evidence recovered from the scene,” said Special Agent in Charge Jamy Steinberg.
