Law enforcement brought murder charges this week against a Moultrie man who was interviewed in the days following the fatal shooting of Norman Park resident Dusty Carroll.

Blake Allen Samples, 34, is the ex-husband of Kayla Samples, at whose residence the April 28 shooting occurred.

Samples turned himself in to authorities on Monday and was charged with murder, possession of a weapon while trying to commit a crime and entering an auto with the intent of felony, Colquitt County Sheriff’s booking reports said.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has not given an account of what transpired at Kayla Samples’ 1308 Ga. Hwy. 33 S. residence on that night, only that there was some type of dispute that precipitated the shooting.

“We know there was an altercation and Mr. Carroll was shot,” Steve Turner, special agent in charge of the GBI office in Thomasville, said Tuesday. “Based on information we gathered in the case we had enough evidence to charge him.”

The entering auto happened during the altercation, Turner said.

“He entered Carroll’s auto and took something.”

The agency is not releasing what was taken out of the car, he said.

A firearm was recovered early in the investigation.

Samples has told authorities that the shooting was a case of self defense.

Carroll was shot once in the abdomen, officials said. He died about 12 hours after the shooting at a Macon hospital. He reportedly drove himself to the local hospital after being shot.

The fatal shooting was the fourth in the county in 2013, with all of the others occurring in Moultrie.

Moultrie police also have investigated a number of non-fatal shootings. Also on Monday, police arrested a suspect in the shooting of two men outside a Moultrie nightclub in the early morning hours of March 10.

Daryll Wayne Burks, 26, was charged with one count of aggravated assault.

Ashley Larue Clayton and Bobby Ellerson, 27, were taken to Colquitt Regional Medical Center at about 3:20 a.m. in private cars. Ellerson was hit three times and Clayton once, Moultrie Police Department reports said of the incident.

The men told police they were leaving the club when they were hit by bullets. They reportedly were going to separate cars at Club Illusion.

The investigator in the case could not be reached for comment on Tuesday.
