Jimmy Lee Scott III, a 38-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in Macon, Georgia, on July 29, 2022. The shooting happened in a burst of gunfire outside Next Level Kuts, the barbershop at 856 Pio Nono Avenue; deputies responding to a 12:13 a.m. call found Scott fatally wounded in the parking lot. His brother, Jarel Scott, was also struck and taken to hospital — initially described as critical but later reported as stable.

Investigators spent weeks piecing together what had happened. On September 12, 2022, authorities identified and arrested 21-year-old Adolphus DeWayne Hughes Jr. at a residence on Highland Avenue in Macon. He was charged with murder in connection with Jimmy Scott III’s death and booked into the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Center, held without bond.
