Man wanted in Macon fatal shooting turns himself in

It happened on Shearwater Drive in the 4000-block of Macon's Bloomfield neighborhood

MACON, Ga. — A man wanted in the Sunday fatal shooting of another man has turned himself in.

A news release from the Bibb County Sheriff's Office says 29-year-old Jeremy Travontia Brown contacted investigators to surrender around 4 a.m. Monday.

The release says Brown's father took him to the sheriff's office and he turned himself in.

Investigators interviewed Brown about the shooting death of 31-year-old Courvoisie Jamal Reid before taking him to the Bibb County Jail and charging him with murder.

The shooting happened on Shearwater Drive in the 4000-block of Macon's Bloomfield neighborhood just after 11 p.m. Sunday.

A release says it all started with a fight between Reid and his girlfriend.  

Investigators believe Brown shot at Reid during that fight. Reid was struck by a bullet in the upper body.

He was pronounced dead at the scene and Brown left before deputies got to the home.

This is Macon's 49th homicide of 2020. It's the most on record.
