Two suspects in home invasion slaying early Thursday
A 37-year-old man was shot to death during a home invasion early Thursday.
Two armed men wearing masks entered Marcus Dewayne Braswell’s home on Poppy Avenue with guns and shot him in the head, according to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.
Braswell was pronounced dead at the scene, 691 Poppy Ave. He was also shot in the back and in the arm, Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones said.
The shooting was reported about 3:40 a.m. by a “third party,” Bibb County sheriff’s deputy Clay Williams said.
Several family members were on the home’s porch Thursday afternoon, but a woman there said that relatives didn’t want to talk to a reporter.
Descriptions of the suspects were not available. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 478-751-7500 or Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 877-68-CRIME.
