Macon’s 49th slaying: Man charged with murder after Sunday-night Bloomfield shooting
A 31-year-old man was shot and killed at a house on Shearwater Drive in southwest Macon late Sunday.
Courvoisie Jamal Reid, of Macon, was reportedly involved in a fight with his girlfriend when Jeremy Travontia Brown, 29, of Macon, fired multiple shots, according to a Bibb County Sheriff’s Office news release.
Reid was struck in the upper body and was pronounced dead at the scene at 4016 Shearwater, in a neighborhood just north of Rocky Creek Road on the east side of Bloomfield Drive.
Brown was gone before sheriff’s deputies arrived at the house about 11:15 p.m. Sunday, but officials said in a statement Monday morning that he turned himself in sometime after 4 a.m.
No one else was injured in the shooting.
Reid’s death marks the 49th homicide in Macon-Bibb County in 2020, according to Telegraph records.
A couple of hours after sunrise, a teen who lives nearby told a Telegrapher reporter about hearing two shots around the time of the killing.
“My first thought was ... it made me feel bad for the family,” the teen said. “I was kind of close to them.”
