Chauncey Jevon Love II, a 27-year-old Black man from Orange Park, Florida, was shot and killed in the Best Western parking lot on Riverside Drive in Macon on the night of November 23, 2021. Deputies were called just after 11 p.m. for a man shot inside a vehicle; Love was found unresponsive after his car crossed Riverside Drive and ended up in a ditch. Investigators say Love had traveled to Bibb County with two other men for a marijuana transaction that turned violent during the meeting.

Within days and months investigators identified and arrested multiple people believed to be involved. Javacea Javonne Battle of Atlanta and Isaac Folabi-Sola Adesina of Hampton were arrested in early December 2021. In January 2022 Lucky Chiderah Udeh of Stone Mountain was taken into custody, and in March 2022 Jamir Kortez Culbreath of Jonesboro was arrested; prosecutors later described Culbreath as the shooter who entered the backseat, with Udeh pointing a rifle from outside and Adesina and Battle providing the setup and armed backup. The case record traces a planned meetup for a drug sale that became deadly in a hotel parking lot.
