Update: Victims identified from overnight shootings, stabbings in downtown Macon

The Bibb Sheriff's Office says someone driving down Cherry Street started shooting at people outside the Thirsty Turtle.

MACON, Ga. — A woman is dead and seven other people are hurt after shootings and stabbings outside a downtown Macon bar early Friday morning.

The Bibb County Sheriff's Office says after a fight, someone drove down Cherry Street shooting at people standing outside of the Thirsty Turtle around 2:45 a.m. Friday. 

The sheriff's office says the shooter continued firing at people at the intersection of Cherry and Third Street, injuring six people.

Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones says 22-year-old Jhacaya Mann died at the hospital. She is from west Macon.

Sheriff David Davis says they don’t know whether this was targeted.

"We don’t think this is just a random situation where someone came up and started shooting, there was probably somebody that somebody had a disagreement with that precipitated this mayhem," he said.

30-year-old Briana Braddy, of Macon, is currently out of surgery and listed to be in critical condition.

The other victims related to this incident are 21-year-old Rysheena Moore, 40-year-old Antonio Smith, 31-year-old Takeshi High and 26-year-old Justin Miller. They are listed to be in stable condition.
