On the night of October 29, 2022, 23-year-old Dakari Faulkner was found with a single gunshot wound in the 2500 block of Willis Drive in Macon, Georgia. Deputies from the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call about a person shot just before 11:30 p.m.; Faulkner was taken to Atrium Health Navicent and later pronounced dead.

Detectives quickly opened a homicide investigation. Investigators identified 26-year-old Shavion Devonta Ashley as connected to the death and obtained warrants for his arrest. With help from the U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, Ashley was located on Cambridge Drive and taken into custody without incident. He faces two counts of Aggravated Assault and Possession of a Firearm during the Commission of a Felony and is being held without bond; authorities say additional arrests or charges may be pending.

If anyone has information about Faulkner’s movements that night or other witnesses to the shooting, please come forward.
