Warrants for a man suspected in the murder of a Millen woman Sunday follow an investigation opened by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's Region 5 office in Statesboro.

The body of Victoria Baird, age unavailable, was found around 5:45 p.m. in her apartment on Tool Court in Millen, said Special Agent-in-Charge Catherine Sapp.

Millen police requested GBI assistance after finding Baird deceased on Sunday, Sapp said in a statement released Monday.

Warrants for the arrest of Deondray Johnson, age and address unavailable, were issued on charges of murder and burglary, Sapp said.

An autopsy of Baird's body is scheduled to be conducted by the GBI medical examiner's office in Savannah on Tuesday.

"The investigation is in its preliminary stages," Sapp said. "The GBI is asking anyone with information to please contact them at (912) 871-1121 or the Millen Police Department at (478) 982-2750."

Monday, Millen police officials directed calls seeking information to the Statesboro GBI office.
