A Macon man who died Saturday evening after a shooting in the Unionville area has been identified, Bibb County coroner Leon Jones said.

He was declared dead at the scene by deputy coroner Ronnie Miley, according to the statement. Jones identified the man as Cedric Bernard Davis, 45, Sunday afternoon. His next of kin were notified.
