Calvin Thomas Hugley Jr., 38, was killed in the early morning hours of August 19, 2023, after an exchange of gunfire at a large gathering on Woodard Avenue in Macon, Georgia. The residence where the party took place was described as operating as an unlicensed after-hours establishment. Deputies who responded to calls of shots fired found Hugley unresponsive in the street and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Two women and another man were also struck by gunfire during the incident; their injuries were described as not life-threatening and they were taken to a local hospital in stable condition. Investigators later identified 24-year-old Dequavia Pollard as the primary suspect in Hugley’s death. On January 19, 2024, Pollard was arrested and charged with murder and six counts of aggravated assault in connection with the August shooting.

At the time of that arrest Pollard was also implicated in a separate January 14, 2024, fatal shooting and faced an additional murder charge and one count of criminal street gang activity. He is being held at the Bibb County Jail without bond. If anyone attended the Woodard Avenue gathering or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
