Search for murder suspect underway in Brunswick County

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — A new twist in a murder investigation in Brunswick County.

Investigators are now looking for a 30-year-old man in connection with the case.

The Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office says Bryan Goodwin is wanted for the murder of Jaquin Kymane Bethea, Jr. on August 6th.

Bethea’s body was found at a home Ridge Road in Supply.
