Two shot, one dead at southwest Macon apartment complex, coroner says

Investigators are on the scene of a shooting on Rocky Creek Road in Macon where one person is dead and another injured.

Macon-Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones said two people were shot at the Majestic Garden Apartments on Rocky Creek Road just before 5 p.m. Wednesday.

Marquavious Deshon Wright, 18, was shot and killed. Deontaie Hunt, 18, was shot in the leg and is being transported to a local hospital for treatment. He is in stable condition.

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.

The circumstances of the shooting have not been released.

Investigators are speaking with a person of interest but the investigation is still in its early stages.

It’s the second time this year someone has been shot and killed at the Majestic Garden Apartments: 16-year-old Ahmori Searcy was killed there in early March.

The killing marks the 29th homicide in Macon this year.
