A summer party in Macon, Georgia, turned into a scene of violence and tragedy, leaving two men dead and a young child wounded. Notorious Montreal Williams, a 31-year-old Black man, was among those who lost their lives on July 5, 2020. The gathering, held at a residence on Azalea Drive, was shattered by an altercation that erupted into gunfire shortly after 1 a.m.
According to witnesses, a fight broke out between several people at the party. During the chaotic moments that followed, multiple individuals drew firearms and began shooting. Williams was struck by the gunfire and was pronounced dead at the scene. Another partygoer, 30-year-old Davius Dewayne Johnson, was also fatally shot. He was transported to Navicent Health Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. A 7-year-old girl was also struck by a bullet in the leg but was reported to be in stable condition after receiving medical care.
In the aftermath of the deadly shooting, the Bibb County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation that quickly pointed to a suspect. Investigators identified 57-year-old Anthony Cyril Green of Macon as a person of interest in connection with the murders. Authorities released his description and warned that he should be considered armed and dangerous.
A search for Green ended the same morning. He was located at a home in South Macon and taken into custody without incident just before 10 a.m. Green was arrested and charged with murder in connection with the deaths of Williams and Johnson. He was transported to the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center and held without bond. As of July 2020, the investigation was ongoing, and authorities noted that more charges could be filed.
