Victim’s girlfriend charged with murder in stabbing death at Macon high-rise

A woman accused of stabbing her boyfriend at a high-rise senior housing complex in east Macon was arrested and charged with murder just before midnight Wednesday.

Sheldon McCoy, 51, and Mark Green were having “a domestic dispute” in their apartment in McAfee Towers on Gray Highway shortly before 5 p.m., according to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.

Green, 62, was pronounced dead at the scene of their fourth-floor apartment.

It was unclear what the dispute was about.

Green’s death marks Bibb County’s fifth homicide in 2019. This same time last year 17 people had been slain in the county.
