Joshua Horne Sr was a 26-year-old Black man from Macon who died on October 12, 2020, after being shot once in the chest during an altercation at Hunters Run Apartments in the 6000 block of Thomaston Road. Investigators say a verbal argument turned physical, a gun was produced, and Horne was pronounced dead at the scene that night.

The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office arrested 37-year-old Earlondez Donta Bond at the scene, interviewed him, and booked him on a murder charge; local coverage consistently described Bond as the man accused in Horne’s killing.

Friends and family remembered Horne as someone taken too soon and described the ongoing pain his death left for loved ones and the community. If anyone knew Joshua Horne Sr or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
