HINESVILLE, Ga. () — The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) is investigating the death of a wanted Maryland man who barricaded himself in a home.

According to a press release issued by GBI early Saturday, Daquan Phillips, 26, was found with a gunshot wound after officials made entry into the home he had barricaded himself in.

The incident occurred after hours of unsuccessful communication with Phillips.

Phillips was later pronounced dead by the Liberty County Coroner’s Office (LCCO).
