Cleveland Raines, 19, was shot and killed in Macon, Georgia, on the evening of June 4, 2022. Deputies responding to shots fired at an abandoned house in the 300-block of Jones Avenue found a chaotic scene: three people had already been taken to a hospital in a private vehicle, and Raines was discovered behind the house and later pronounced dead at the hospital. Three others — 23-year-old Jarvis Hill, 22-year-old Alizya Sinclair, and 19-year-old Ralph Hughes — were wounded and listed in stable condition; a second victim, Jarvis Devon Hill, later died on July 28, 2022, with an autopsy ordered to determine whether his death was directly related to the shooting.

The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office reported several people were at the abandoned house to gamble when the shooting occurred, and initial reports indicated no arrests in the June incident. Cleveland had previously been shot in November while 18 and survived; that earlier Grier Street shooting left 24-year-old Shawn Deontae Watts dead and led to the arrest of Cleveland’s brother Khalil Malik Raines on murder charges tied to that separate incident, which court filings said arose from a dispute over a stolen firearm.

Did anyone in Macon see or hear anything at the abandoned house on Jones Avenue that night?
