LOWNDES COUNTY- A Lowndes County man is facing a murder charge after
allegedly shooting his girlfriend's four-year-old son with a hunting
rifle.
Patrick Chambers, 27, was taken into custody Tuesday
afternoon for his alleged role in the shooting death of four-year-old
Brayden Barksdale, according to Lowndes County Chief Deputy Marc Miley.
Chambers will officially be charged with murder and possession of a
weapon by a convicted felon on Wednesday, Miley said. Miley did not know
Chamber's prior felony conviction but said it stemmed from an out of

Richardson, Miley said.
