Macon man charged with murder in fatal shooting at Woolfolk Street home in Fort Hill

A 23-year-old man was shot to death early Friday in Macon‘s Fort Hill neighborhood, and by late that afternoon, an arrest had been made.

Terral Gray, 34, of Macon, was charged with murder after being interviewed by investigators, according to a Bibb County Sheriff's Office news release.

Just after 5:30 a.m., Bibb County sheriff’s deputies were called to a report of a person shot at 1143 Woolfolk St.

They found a wounded man lying on the front porch of a duplex near Bowman Street.

Al'juwon Moss, who lives at the duplex but is originally from Patterson, New Jersey, died at the scene, Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones said.

"It was discovered that Gray fired a gun during an altercation with Moss which resulted in Moss being struck by the gunfire and causing his death," the release said.

Bibb County deputy coroner Lonnie Miley said Moss was shot in the neck.

The shooting is Macon-Bibb County's 21st homicide of 2018.

The street was roped off early Friday as a crime scene technician gathered evidence and photographed the scene.

Once the news broke, neighbors gathered at the crime scene tape.

One woman was concerned about her son, who lives in the neighboring unit, but she was told he and his girlfriend were fine and did not hear anything.

Another neighbor who lives around the corner said he frequently hears gunshots that sound like they are coming from the duplexes near Bowman Street.

Gray was being held late Friday afternoon at the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center.

Anyone with information about the case is urged to call for an investigator at 478-751-7500 or phone anonymous tips to Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 877-68-CRIME.
