On the night of September 15, 2022, 23-year-old Jermaine Brandon Reynolds was found unresponsive and lying in the roadway at the intersection of Denton Street and Haywood Road in Macon, Georgia, after a report of a person being shot. Deputies from the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office and the deputy coroner pronounced him dead at the scene shortly after their arrival around 8:30 p.m.

The investigation into Reynolds’ death remained active into 2023. In April 2023 investigators released video showing a person of interest described as a slender Black male with a beard and braided hair tied back, wearing all black, and asked the public for help identifying him. A further development occurred on November 27, 2023, when 33-year-old Shavis Terrell Hicks of Macon was arrested by Baldwin County deputies and booked into the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center on charges of Aggravated Assault and Murder; he was being held without bond as the investigation continued.

If anyone witnessed the shooting on September 15, 2022, or recognizes the person shown in the released footage, please come forward with information.
