On the morning of Saturday, August 29, 2026, Bibb County Sheriff's deputies responded to a call about a possible shooting on Maynard Street. Upon arrival, they found a side door to a residence open but were unable to gain full entry. Peering inside, a deputy saw a man, later identified as Dan Anderson, lying unresponsive on the floor.

and had to force their way into the room to reach him. Anderson was pronounced dead at 12:31 p.m. by the deputy coroner, having sustained a fatal gunshot wound. The Bibb County Sheriff's Office promptly launched a homicide investigation into the shooting. Investigators canvassed the area and processed the scene for evidence, though initial reports did not indicate a clear motive or lead to the immediate identification of a suspect.
