Man shot, killed in West Macon home

Neighbors heard gunshots around 6 a.m. The man was found dead around 8:54.

MACON, Ga. — The Bibb County Sheriff's Office is investigating how a man was killed in a West Macon home early Saturday morning. 

Deputies say they found 39-year-old Jimmy Lee Bradberry Jr. unresponsive with at least three gunshot wounds at a home on the 2400 block of Monroe Avenue.

They found Bradberry after a neighbor asked them to check the home. Deputies say the home was also damaged by gunshots.

Deputy Coroner Ronnie Miley pronounced Bradberry dead on scene at 8:54 a.m. But according to a press release, the Sheriff's Office says Bradberry was shot over three hours earlier at 5:47 a.m. 

We've asked Bibb County Sheriff's Office why it took deputies nearly three hours to enter the home after the county's ShotSpotter system reported gunfire.

They say they'll share more details Monday. 

Bibb County Sheriff's Office Investigators ask that anyone with information contact the Bibb Sheriff's Office at 478-751-7500 or the Macon Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-877-68CRIME.
