Lester Summers, a 40-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in Macon, Georgia on the night of September 10, 2022. Bibb County Sheriff’s deputies found Summers between two houses on the 300 block of Grier Street just before 11:00 p.m.; he was taken to Atrium Health with multiple gunshot wounds and later died. A 34-year-old man was also wounded and taken to a different hospital in stable condition.

Investigators focused on a suspect who had been arrested days after the shooting during a separate search warrant on Monroe Street. Deputies arrested 37-year-old Turquell Shermain Cone after seizing a stolen handgun, an altered shotgun, methamphetamine, cocaine and drug packaging items. Detectives later served Cone with a warrant for Summers’ murder and a grand jury indicted him on malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault and firearm-possession charges. Cone initially pleaded not guilty but ultimately entered a guilty plea, resolving the case.
