Man shot dead in Warner Robins

A man was shot dead in Warner Robins early Thursday morning and a suspect is being questioned.

Officers were called to a home at 506 S. 3rd St. about 12:48 a.m. regarding a shooting, said Warner Robins police spokeswoman Jennifer Parson.

Edward McKellar, 43, suffered a gunshot to the head and was pronounced dead.

The shooter has been identified and is cooperating with police, she said. She expects charges will be filed but said she isn’t sure what those charges will be.

The relationship between the two is uncertain, she said, as well as the circumstances leading up to the shooting.

A section of 3rd Street in front of the home was completely blocked off Thursday morning as evidence was gathered at the scene.

The shooting is the city’s third homicide in a week. Two men were killed March 2 in a shooting at Jus One More nightclub. No one has been arrested although hundreds of people were in the building at the time of the shooting.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Justin Clark at 478-302-5378 or Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 1-877-68CRIME.
