On the afternoon of May 10, 2021, deputies conducting a welfare check at the Avalon Mobile Home Park on Jeffersonville Road in Macon, Georgia, discovered two men shot to death inside a home. Quinterious Hillman, 29, and his roommate, 29-year-old Jerod Lester, were found unresponsive; both had suffered gunshot wounds. The discovery around 4:30 p.m. drew family and neighbors to the scene, and relatives described the victims as hardworking men trying to better themselves.

An arrest followed quickly: 19-year-old Jaives Jamel Fountain was taken into custody the day after the killings and was charged with two counts of murder. Investigators said Fountain admitted being at the home when Hillman and Lester were killed. A second suspect, Trequan Raquez Fox, was arrested months later and both men were later indicted on multiple counts including murder and aggravated assault.

The case has seen major legal developments since then. In March 2026 a Bibb County jury acquitted Fountain after a court excluded recorded evidence the prosecution had planned to use. That evidentiary ruling affected the viability of the case against Fox. The murders of Quinterious Hillman and Jerod Lester remain unsolved. If anyone has information about what happened that afternoon, please contact the Bibb Sheriff’s Office at 478-751-7500 or Macon Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-877-68CRIME.
