The Bibb County Sheriff's Office was investigating the fatal
shooting of three people who were killed in the parking lot
outside of the Midtown Daiquiri Bar and Grill in Macon, Georgia,
on Sunday after 12 a.m. Bibb County chief coroner Leon Jones
identified the victims as Jedarrius Meadows Jr., 28; Javonta
Faulks, 32; and Javarsia Meadows, 24. Six other people were
injured and are in stable condition, according to Jones.
“It’s frustrating and its depressing to see the killing,” said
Jones, who also runs a local organization that tries to prevent
gun violence. "We were doing so good, but this week alone we’ve
had five homicides.”
All three deceased men were pronounced dead outside the bar at
approximately 1:10 a.m. Deputies are investigating the
shootings.
Less than 24 hours earlier, a 25-year-old man was fatally shot
at a graduation party on a residential block, the sheriff's
department said. That victim was identified as Jaurice Markel
Haywood, according to the Bibb County coroner. Two other men
were injured and transported to a local hospital, including a
24-year-old man who was in critical condition.
The sheriff's department didn't say whether anyone had been
arrested in connection with either of the shootings.
Macon-Bibb County is in central Georgia and has a population of
just under 160,000 people, according to the U.S. Census.
