20-year-old jailed on murder charge in slaying of Macon man shot dead while driving
A 20-year-old Macon man was jailed Friday on a murder charge in connection with the Wednesday evening slaying of a man police say was shot and killed while he was driving near a busy Unionville intersection.
Jaqualin Kendrae Fryer, of a High Oak Drive address, was booked into the Bibb County lockup about noon following his arrest, a sheriff’s statement said.
It wasn’t clear what may have led investigators to charge Fryer in the shooting of Kenneth Bernard Campbell, just that Fryer “turned himself over” to authorities about 10 a.m., the statement added.
Campbell was killed shortly before 6 p.m. Wednesday near a small shopping center at the intersection of Pio Nono and Montpelier avenues.
Sheriff’s officials in a statement that evening said that witnesses told the cops that “a fight broke out between several individuals in the parking lot of the Little Caesars” at 1477 Pio Nono Ave.
Campbell was said to have left the parking lot there only to return soon after, where according to the statement he was “shot while driving on Montpelier Avenue. ... Campbell lost control of his vehicle and drove over a water main, located next to Little Caesars” before stopping.
