On August 5, 2022, 41-year-old Ronnie Albea was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Walmart on Harrison Road in Macon, Georgia, after he and his fiancée were approached by two men who demanded their vehicle keys. Albea refused and a physical struggle followed; during the altercation one of the assailants fired, and Albea died after being taken to a local hospital.

The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office identified two suspects. In April 2023, 18-year-old Elijiah Dewayne Gray was arrested at a Clisby Place residence and charged with murder; he also faced two counts of making terroristic threats. In March 2024, 20-year-old Mycco Vachion Gray was captured after a short foot chase and charged with murder and hijacking a motor vehicle; both men were being held without bond at the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center as the legal process moved forward.

Albea’s family has filed a lawsuit against Walmart, alleging the store should have provided better security at the Harrison Road location. Does anyone have information about the parking lot incident or the people involved that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
