Man arrested for alleged murder in Thomas County

THOMAS COUNTY, Ga. (WCTV) - An arrest has been made in connection to a recent Thomas County murder.

According to the sheriff’s office, 22-year-old Edward Cesena will be charged with felony murder, malice murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Cesena has been transported to the Thomas County Jail.

The charges stem from a shooting at a home on Five Forks Road in the town of Boston on Thursday morning. Deputies with the Thomas County Sheriff’s Office deputies and officers from the Boston Police Department responded around 10:20.

When they arrived, a man identified as Isaac Miranda was found shot in the upper torso. The two had been arguing over food preparation, and then Cesana proceeded to shoot Miranda in the chest. Miranda was Cesena’s stepfather, according to TCSO.

Officers provided CPR on Miranda until paramedics with Emergency Medical Services arrived. He was then taken to Archbold Memorial Hospital, where he passed away.
