On February 15, 2020, 37-year-old Ashley Wease of Eatonton was found with fatal gunshot wounds in room 240 of the Econo Lodge Inn & Suites on Chambers Road in Macon. Deputies from the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office responded after a shooting call shortly before 10 a.m.; Wease was pronounced dead at the scene.

Within minutes of the shooting, officers detained a person of interest at the intersection of Eisenhower and Presidential Parkways. That individual, identified in reports as 28-year-old Jerome Christopher Miller of Macon, was taken to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Investigations Office for questioning and was arrested and charged with Wease’s murder. Miller was booked into Bibb County Jail and held without bond. The motel shooting was listed as the seventh homicide in Macon-Bibb County for 2020; no other injuries were reported.
