TOCCOA, Ga. – The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) arrested Corey Bryant, 36, of Toccoa, and charged him with malice murder in connection with the death of Angela Baker, 42, also of Toccoa.

Baker was found dead in his home on East Franklin Street by family members on Nov. 22. The Toccoa Police Department requested the GBI’s assistance in the investigation later that day.

Bryant, who had previously been involved with Baker, was located and arrested shortly after Baker’s body was discovered. At the time, he was in custody on charges related to a separate fight that occurred on Nov. 22. During their investigation, GBI agents uncovered evidence linking Bryant to Baker’s death and leading to murder charges.

The case remains active and the GBI encourages anyone with information to contact the Regional Investigations Office in Cleveland at 706-348-4866 or the GBI Tip Line at 1-800-597-TIPS (8477).
