MACON, Ga. — A man has been arrested in the killing of 34-year-old Jerry Lewis Burke back in late August, according to a press release from the Bibb County Sheriff's Office.

They say that, just before 2 p.m. on Friday, U.S. Marshals and the Bibb County SWAT team assembled at a house in the 1500 block of Williamson Road.

They were there to arrest 27-year-old Keenan Devonte Andrews. The shooting happened at the Circle K on Pio Nono on Aug. 30.
