In the late summer of 2017, a 32-year-old man named Richard Jefferson Condy became the subject of a law enforcement search following a violent incident in Georgia. Investigators with the Bibb County Sheriff's Office identified Condy as the suspect in the shooting of a 28-year-old woman at a Value Place Hotel in Macon. The shooting, which occurred just before 11 p.m., left the female victim with multiple gunshot wounds.
She was transported to a local hospital and was reported to be in stable condition. In the wake of the hotel room shooting, an arrest warrant was issued for Richard Condy, and authorities sought information on his whereabouts.
The search for Condy came to a solemn end in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 30, 2017. It was there that he was found deceased. While it was confirmed that the man sought in the Macon shooting was the same individual who died in Birmingham, the specific circumstances surrounding his death were not widely reported in online sources. There were no immediate reports detailing whether his death was the result of a confrontation with law enforcement, a self-inflicted act, or other causes. The investigation into the shooting in Macon had pointed solely to Condy as the suspect, and with his death, the active pursuit for a suspect in that case concluded. No further arrests were made in connection with the shooting of the woman in the Macon hotel.
