Three people were killed and six were injured during a shooting at a bar in southwest Macon, according to the Bibb County sheriff’s and coroner’s offices.

A 911 call at midnight Sunday reported a shooting at Midtown Daiquiri Bar and Grill at 4376 Log Cabin Dr., a news release from the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office said.

Deputies found nine victims “suffering from gunshot wounds” at the scene.

There were “multiple shell casings everywhere,” Coroner Leon Jones told The Telegraph.

Three victims had “multiple gunshot wounds” and were pronounced dead at the scene at 1:10 a.m., according to Jones.

They were identified as Jedarrius Meadows Jr., 28; Javonta Faulks, 32; and Javarsia Meadows, 24. The sheriff’s and coroner’s offices spelled Faulks’ first name differently. Their families were notified of their deaths.

Six other people were injured and taken to Atrium Health Navicent. Paramedics took three victims, while three others arrived at the hospital in personal vehicles, deputies said.

The shooting was still under investigation and anyone with related information was urged to call the sheriff’s office at 478-751-7500, or Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 1-877-68CRIME.
