A late-night argument on March 17, 2024 in the 800 block of Maynard Street in Macon, Georgia ended in a shooting that killed 28-year-old Shantoria Hines. The Macon-Bibb 911 Center received a call at 12:11 a.m.; deputies learned both victims had already been taken to a local hospital in a private vehicle. Hines, a Black woman known as Shan, was pronounced dead at the hospital. A second victim, 26-year-old Kreo Montgomery, was treated for a gunshot wound and listed in stable condition.

Hines was remembered for her love of basketball, her work in retail in Bibb County, and being close to family and friends. The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office identified a suspect and on May 2, 2024 arrested 30-year-old Tyrell Shernard Burks of Warner Robins, charging him with murder and multiple counts of aggravated assault; he was held without bond. Is there anyone who knew Shan or who was in the area that night who can help clarify what happened?
