On Friday, January 16, 2026, at approximately 2048 hours, I, Deputy Kile responded to an emergency 911 call for shots fired around [400 BLOCK] and [400 BLOCK] Hardwick Drive, Macon, Georgia.

I arrived on scene and encountered two suspects, identified as Jeremy Davis and Ja’naddia Sutton, both 19 years old. They stated they were involved in a shooting. I observed the vehicle they were in a silver 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe, GA Tag # [REDACTED] with the two passenger side tires up in the air from where the vehicle drove over a large brick enclosed mailbox belonging to [400 BLOCK] Hardwick Drive (Ms. Debbie Dove’s residence) and a streetlamp post.

Both suspects were detained on scene. Cpl. Taylor and Lt. Purnell arrived and informed me of a black male, (later identified as [VICTIM #1]), wearing all black laying in front of the mailbox in the road of [400 BLOCK] Hardwick Drive. I attempted to render aid, but the male was not breathing and did not have a pulse. Emergency Medical Services and the Coroner arrived and pronounced [VICTIM #1] as deceased.

I was notified by dispatch that another black male, later identified as Lindale Maurice Shannon (The owner and suspected driver of the silver Tahoe) was found around [6700 BLOCK] Houston Road with a gunshot wound to his face. Shannon was transported by Atrium Navicent EMS to a local medical facility.

I transported Davis and Sutton to the CID Office for further questioning.

The scene was turned over to CID and the crime lab.

DEFENSE ATTORNEY ENTERS APPEARANCE — JUSTIN WHITE RETAINED FOR ZAYVION NISEAH DAJOUR JACKSON

What this means: Attorney Justin White of Robert James Trial Attorneys, LLC formally notified the Bibb County Superior Court that he is representing Zayvion Niseah Dajour Jackson in Case No. 2026-CR-086740. This filing was electronically submitted to the court clerk, Erica L. Woodford, on May 7, 2026. Along with entering his appearance, White simultaneously filed a Demand for Discovery — a formal legal request requiring the prosecution to turn over evidence and information it plans to use at trial. The demand covers items such as a copy of the charges, witness lists, any statements made by Jackson while in police custody, and scientific or forensic reports. This is a standard early step in the defense process.

MOTION FOR BOND FILED ON BEHALF OF ZAYVION NISEAH DAJOUR JACKSON

What this means: Defense attorney Justin White filed a Motion for Bond asking the Bibb County Superior Court to set a reasonable bail amount so that Zayvion Niseah Dajour Jackson could be released from custody while the case is pending. The motion argues that Jackson does not pose a significant flight risk, is not a danger to the community, is not likely to commit additional felonies before trial, and is not likely to intimidate witnesses or obstruct justice. The filing also notes that because some of the charges against Jackson can only be heard before a Superior Court judge, the motion was directed to that court. The court has not yet ruled on this request based on the available documents.

BOND DENIED — ZAYVION NISEAH DAJOUR JACKSON TO REMAIN IN CUSTODY

What this means: A judge of the Bibb County Superior Court, Macon Judicial Circuit, issued a formal Order Denying Bond for Zayvion Niseah Dajour Jackson in Case No. 2026-CR-086740. The hearing was held on May 28, 2026. The order notes that Jackson has been incarcerated since February 19, 2026. The court found that the State proved by a preponderance of the evidence — meaning it was more likely than not — that Jackson poses a significant threat or danger to persons, to the community, or to any property in the community. As a result, bond was denied and Zayvion Niseah Dajour Jackson will remain held in custody while the case moves forward. This ruling came after the defense’s Motion for Bond, filed May 7, 2026, was considered and rejected by the court.
