Investigation continues into Lavonia pastor's death

UNDATED - Officials with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said they are still waiting on crime lab results in the case of Jonathan Ayers, the Lavonia pastor shot and killed by Stephens County drug agents two weeks ago.

The GBI's John Bankhead said Wednesday that the investigation is progressing.

Meanwhile, warrants obtained from the Stephens County Magistrate's office identify the woman in Rev. Ayers' vehicle just before he was shot as Kala Jones Barrett. Barrett has been charged with selling cocaine to undercover officers on two occasions at the Relax Inn in Toccoa. Authorities said Barrett, and not Ayers, was the target of the drug investigation.

Family members said Ayers had been ministering to the woman for a time.
