On the late afternoon of July 29, 2020, a dispute in the parking lot of a Little Caesars on Pio Nono Avenue in Macon, Georgia, escalated into a fatal shooting. Twenty-nine-year-old Kenneth Bernard Campbell was involved in a fight with several people, drove away down Montpelier Avenue, then later returned and was shot while driving. After being shot he lost control of his vehicle, which struck a water main next to the Little Caesars and came to a stop. Deputies found Campbell unresponsive, performed CPR until paramedics arrived, and he was pronounced dead at a local hospital that evening.

The investigation identified two suspects. On July 31, 2020, 20-year-old Jaqualin Fryer turned himself in after notification of a warrant and was charged with murder. On August 11, 2020, the U.S. Marshals Southeast Fugitive Task Force arrested 26-year-old Trevarus Demonte Kendrick at a Swan Drive residence; he was also charged with murder. Both men were held at the Bibb County Jail without bond. Family and friends held a balloon release in Campbell’s memory and called for an end to community violence.
