A husband and wife were found dead Wednesday morning at their house in south Macon, the victims of an apparent murder-suicide, Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones said.
The victims, James W. Brown Jr., 49, and his wife Tyvesha G. Brown, 46, died in their home at 271 Golden Ocala Boulevard in a subdivision south of Jones Road between Houston Road and Interstate 75, Jones said.
