Christopher Tremaine Wynes Sr., known to family as Ludy, was 36 when he was fatally shot early on the morning of July 14, 2024, in the 5700 block of Satterfield Drive off Bloomfield Road in Macon. Deputies and paramedics arrived around 6:30 to 6:40 a.m., but Deputy Coroner Ronnie Miley pronounced him dead at the scene. Initial sheriff’s office releases described the case as an active death investigation and asked the public for tips while few details were released.

An obituary noted Wynes as a man who kept a smile on his face and brightened others’ days, underscoring the personal loss behind the police report. The investigation produced a major development on August 29, 2024, when authorities arrested 31-year-old Jhuquan Lemarkies Dennard of Macon; the U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Task Force took him into custody at a home on Satterfield Drive and he was charged with murder and held without bond.

Does anyone have information about Wynes, his routine, or what happened that morning that could help fill in the gaps?
