Willie Antonio Jewell, 48, of Winterville, Georgia, was shot and killed during a domestic dispute on the morning of February 12, 2024. Police responded to a shooting in the 1200 block of Athens Road at about 8:53 AM and found Jewell dead from a gunshot wound to the head. Reports say the shooting happened during an argument between the suspect and his mother, and Jewell was intervening when he was struck.

The suspect was identified as 26-year-old Cedric Robbie Jones of Athens. He was located at the scene, taken into custody without incident, and booked into the Athens-Clarke County jail. A grand jury in Athens later returned an indictment charging Jones with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during a felony; the case is proceeding through Clarke County Superior Court.
