Candace Towns, a 30-year-old Black man from Macon, Georgia, was found shot to death on October 31, 2017. A Bibb County public works employee discovered Towns’ body in a driveway between two abandoned houses on Rosecrest Avenue. Investigators determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound.

The investigation initially produced few leads. Review of grainy motel surveillance footage showed Towns last seen getting into a car, but that footage did not solve the case. In July 2020 authorities announced an arrest: 26-year-old Horace Jamal Marsh was charged after ballistics testing linked the firearm used in Towns’ killing to a handgun Marsh used in an unrelated 2018 shooting. Marsh was taken into custody at his workplace and held without bond. The public has not been provided with a clear motive.

Did anyone in Macon see Candace in the days before Halloween 2017 or recognize the car from the motel footage?
