On the morning of September 9, 2017, a house party on Patton Avenue in Macon’s Unionville neighborhood ended with gunfire outside the residence at about 3:45 a.m. Twenty-six-year-old Talesha Sierra Taylor was struck at least once and was pronounced dead roughly thirty minutes later. Multiple shell casings were recovered at the scene, and many potential witnesses were initially reluctant to cooperate with investigators.

The investigation resulted in the arrest of 25-year-old Tequilla Renee Brown, who was charged with felony murder and aggravated assault. A few days later 24-year-old Antwan Sherrod Lamar, who was known to both Taylor and Brown, was arrested with U.S. Marshals assistance and charged with murder and aggravated assault. A Bibb County grand jury later indicted both Brown and Lamar on murder charges and related offenses in connection with Taylor’s death.

What can anyone who was at that party or who remembers activity around Patton Avenue in the early hours of September 9, 2017 add to the record?
