On 8/1/2025 at approximately 0010 hours, I, Corporal Jonah Gordon 2748, responded to 1106 Rocky Creek Rd (Chevron) in reference to persons shot. Dispatch advised two brothers were on scene and were both shot.

I arrived on scene and located two males in front of the Chevron on the sidewalk between the building and a truck backed into a parking space. The males were later identified as [VICTIM #1] and [VICTIM #2]. [VICTIM #1] was standing and appeared to have been shot in his left arm. [VICTIM #2] was laying on the ground and possibly had been shot in the torso. [VICTIM #2] and [VICTIM #1]’s mother, [REDACTED], arrived shortly after I did and provided their identification information.

The Bibb County Fire Department and EMS arrived shortly after and put both [VICTIM #1] and [VICTIM #2] on ambulances to be transported to the hospital. I was advised that [VICTIM #1] appeared to have been shot in his right leg and his left arm. [VICTIM #2] appeared to have been shot twice in the torso and once in his buttocks area.

While on scene, dispatch advised another individual went to the hospital who had been shot. Corporal Grooms responded to that location and it was later determined that individual was involved in this incident. He was later identified as Khaleel Taylor.

I spoke to the Chevron store clerk and requested video footage of the incident. He stated he did not know how to work the camera, but he called the manager and someone would come to the scene to pull of video of the incident.

I requested dispatch have a persons crime investigation unit call my phone. Dispatch advised that Inv. Durbin was already enroute to the scene. A short time later, Inv. Durbin responded to the location and I briefed him on the incident.

Upon checking the ground outside, it was found that there were several pools of blood on the ground from one of the gas pumps leading to the vehicle that [VICTIM #2] and [VICTIM #1] were behind when I arrived on scene. There was also numerous shell casings on the ground. Inv. Durbin called for a crime scene unit to respond, and later Inv. Kirkland with Bibb County CSI responded for evidence collection.

[REDACTED] later responded to the location and was eventually able to show myself and Inv. Durbin the footage of the incident. The footage shows at 0002 hours on 8/1/2025, two males begin shooting in the direction of the vehicle that [VICTIM #2] and [VICTIM #1] were found behind. One appears to have a rifle and one appears to have a pistol. After they exchange gunfire, the two males get into a gold car and leave the scene.

I stood by on scene while Inv. Kirkland collected the evidence on scene. After he finished, he left the scene. Prior to me leaving the scene, Inv. Durbin called me and informed me that he met with a party at the hospital and they had thrown two guns into the woods by the dumpster. I went to the wooded area by the store and attempted to locate the firearms. Inv. Durbin and Inv. Kirkland later arrived to assist me in searching. Inv. Kirkland was able to locate one of the pistols, a 9mm Taurus, laying on the ground, up the hill by the store. He later collected it for evidence submission.

The incident was forwarded to Inv. Durbin for further investigation.
