UPDATE | Teen found shot dead in west Macon identified

The Bibb County Sheriff's Office said he was found on Cresthill Avenue Sunday morning.

MACON, Ga. — Bibb deputies are investigating after a teen was found shot dead in west Macon Sunday morning.

A release from the Bibb County Sheriff's Office said deputies were called to the 3500-block of Cresthill Avenue at 8:37 a.m. When on scene, they found a man dead.

Bibb County Chief Coroner Leon Jones identified him as 18-year-old Antwion Williams. Jones said he was found in a wooded area with multiple gunshot wounds to his back and head.

The release said investigators are still trying to figure out what led up to the shooting. At this point, it's still an active scene, and Sergeant Linda Howard with the Bibb County Sheriff's Office said they're not sure when he was shot.

Jones said Williams is the fourth victim under 21-years-old out of Macon's 24 homicides this year. In 2018, eight victims out of Bibb County's 41 homicides were under 21-years-old.

This shooting comes after another man was found dead in the same area on Middleton Avenue Friday night.
