Man critical after drive-by shooting near site of Macon's latest homicide

A man was seriously wounded after a drive-by shooting in Unionville on Monday afternoon near the spot where a woman was shot to death less than a week ago.

Calvin Thomas Hugley was shot about 2:45 p.m. near Pansy Avenue and Iris Street, according to a news release from the Bibb County Sheriff's Office. The 33-year-old was standing on the corner when several people in a gold Honda drove by and fired shots toward him.

Hugley was in critical condition late afternoon as investigators combed the area for evidence and canvassed the neighborhood for witnesses.

Early evening Monday, the sheriff's office sent a news release that said deputies had tried to stop the gold Honda on Bloomfield Drive moments after the shooting, but the driver and passenger ran into a wooded area.

Last week, 26-year-old Jamarta Chennelle Clark was shot to death on Elpis Street, between Grosso and Lilly avenues, about a quarter-mile from where Hugley was shot Monday. Clark's shooter got away before police arrived after the 2 a.m. shooting Thursday.

It remained unclear Monday evening whether the gold Honda used in the drive-by shooting on Pansy Avenue was the same car used during a home invasion that took place about just after noon at Overlook Garden apartments in east Macon.

Anyone with information related to either shooting is urged to call the sheriff's office at 478-751-7500, or call Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 1-877-68CRIME.
