On the day of their funeral, police obtain murder warrants for their accused shooter

A 26-year-old man is being sought in the March 2 double-homicide at Jus One More in Warner Robins.

Travis Bernard Thomas Jr., of Warner Robins, is wanted on two counts each of murder and aggravated assault, according to a Warner Robins police news release.

He’s also wanted on charges of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Kenny Odel Hart Jr., 24, and Jabrial Odeal Adams, 26, both of Warner Robins, were each shot at least once in the chest area about 1 a.m. March 2 at the sports bar on 4993 Russell Parkway, Suite 100, police said.

A fight broke out just before shots were fired, the release said. It did not say whether Hart or Adams were involved in the altercation.

Although hundreds of people were in the bar when shots rang out, few are talking with police.

Police obtained the warrants for Thomas on Wednesday, the same day of the home-going services for Hart and Adams at Warner Robins CME Church. The men where half-brothers, according to the county coroner.

Thomas allegedly fired several shots from a 9 mm handgun at both men, striking Adams at least three times and Hart at least once, warrants said.

Thomas has a December 2012 Florida conviction for possession of cocaine with the intent to sell or deliver, according to a warrant. Thomas was sentenced to five years probation, of which he was required to serve six months, according to Miami-Dade County, Florida, online records.

Also, he’s pending trial in Houston County related to an Oct. 30 incident in which he allegedly pushed a woman up against a wall, took her cellphone, struck her vehicle windshield with a brick and slashed her tires, Superior Court records show. He was indicted on charges of theft, second-degree criminal damage to property and simple assault.

Police declined to release additional information Friday about the double-homicide.

“The investigation is ongoing, and we hope to answer those questions when it has concluded,” Jennifer Parson, public information officer for Warner Robins police, said in an email.

Anyone knowing Thomas’ whereabouts is asked to contact Warner Robins police Detective Shane Mann at 478-302-5381, or Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 1-877-68CRIME.
