In early May 2018, gunfire in the 400-block of East 21st Avenue in Cordele, Georgia, left Shawna Ware dead at the scene and 33-year-old Sheena Jones critically wounded. Jones was taken to the Medical Center of Central Georgia in Macon and died on Monday, May 7, 2018. Sheena Jones was a resident of Cordele at the time.

Investigators quickly identified James Lonnie Smith as the suspect. He fled after the shooting and was located the next day at the Scottish Inn in Perry, where a Houston County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team confronted him. Smith fired at officers, striking ballistic shields, and was eventually taken into custody.

Smith was charged with two counts of murder and aggravated assault. If anyone knew Sheena Jones, Shawna Ware, or saw activity in the East 21st Avenue area that weekend, please share what was seen or any information that could still matter to the case.
