Tyrell Jordan, 34, was fatally shot on June 21, 2016, at the Sandy Springs Apartments on Bloomfield Drive in Macon, Georgia. According to reports, Jordan went to the apartment of his ex-girlfriend, Tranzey Johnson, where her new boyfriend, Frederick Johnson Jr., was present. An argument between Jordan and Frederick Johnson Jr. escalated into a physical fight; during the struggle Johnson produced a handgun and fired two shots that struck Jordan. Jordan was taken to the Medical Center, Navicent Health, where he died of his injuries.

A short time later, 29-year-old Fredrick Lydell Johnson Jr. turned himself in to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office and was charged with murder, criminal trespass, and simple battery family violence. Johnson asserted he acted in self-defense. Prosecutors noted Johnson was on probation as a first-time felony offender at the time and argued that probation status made him ineligible to possess a firearm, which complicated a self-defense claim. The dispute over whether his probation status barred a self-defense defense was later reviewed by the Georgia Supreme Court, which allowed the issue to be argued at trial.

Are there details about the confrontation, witnesses, or the timeline that anyone in the area can add?
