Teagan Jones, 33, was shot during an argument in the parking lot of the Circle K at 3391 Mercer University Drive in Macon on June 7, 2026, and later died from her wounds on June 12, 2026 after several days in critical condition. Deputies were called about 5:33 p.m.; investigators say Jones was shot multiple times by Delmar Tavaris Eugene Black, 35, during the confrontation. As she tried to flee toward Mercer University Drive she was struck by a westbound vehicle and taken by ambulance to a local hospital.

Authorities say Black fled before deputies arrived. Investigators located a silver Buick Enclave on Harrison Road about 7:35 p.m.; when officers tried to take him into custody he allegedly fired at deputies, prompting a roughly two-hour standoff involving SWAT and negotiators. Black was taken into custody about 9:09 p.m., a firearm was recovered, and he was treated for injuries sustained during his arrest. Charges were initially aggravated assault, aggravated assault on law enforcement officers, and felony fleeing and attempting to elude; after Jones died the most serious charge was upgraded to murder. The investigation was described as ongoing.

Did anyone see the argument or the vehicle that struck Jones as she ran toward Mercer University Drive?
