16-year-old found dead, victim of shooting on Macon’s southwest side, coroner says
A 16-year-old boy was found shot to death Wednesday evening in southwest Macon, Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones told the Telegraph.
The victim, Ahmori Searcy, of Macon, was found about 7 p.m. after sheriff’s deputies were called to a wooded patch at Majestic Gardens apartments in the 2500 block of Rocky Creek Road about a “person down,” Jones said.
Sheriff’s officials later said in a statement that Searcy had been shot one time while walking in a parking lot at the apartments when “an unknown subject” began firing.
A description of the culprit was not immediately known.
The area where the shooting happened is on the south side of Rocky Creek near a Family Dollar store, just east of the Bloomfield Road curve.
Searcy’s death was the county’s ninth homicide of the year and the third in the past 11 days.
