Man charged in February slaying at body shop near downtown Macon
Bibb County sheriff’s investigators on Friday arrested a 24-year-old man and charged him with murder in the shooting death of a man at a body shop on the southern edge of downtown Macon last month.
Quindray Jamaal Threatt was being held without bond at the county jail Friday evening in connection with the Feb. 10 slaying of 45-year-old Michael L. Whitaker Jr., officials said.
The shooting happened on Concord Street, less than half a dozen blocks south of the jail in a neighborhood that sits just west of the Houston Avenue split at Broadway.
Threatt’s address is listed in a jail booking form as the Salvation Army shelter on Broadway, not far from where the shooting happened.
Threatt was “taken into custody in Houston County during a traffic stop,” Bibb sheriff’s officials said in a statement announcing his arrest.
Further details about how Threatt may have been linked to the alleged murder or what may have prompted it were not provided.
Threatt also was charged with criminal trespassing in an unrelated case, the statement said.
