Tre’mon Jarrell, a 14-year-old Black male from Macon, was shot on the night of October 28, 2023, near the intersection of Heron Street and Wren Avenue, just off Eisenhower Parkway. Deputies with the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office were called there shortly after 8:00 p.m. and found him wounded. He was rushed by ambulance to Atrium Health Navicent Hospital, where medical staff pronounced him dead at 9:05 p.m.
What began as a frantic emergency call quickly turned into a death investigation, with officers trying to piece together why a boy that young had been shot in the street.
In the first accounts that emerged afterward, the scene carried the confusion and panic that often follows sudden gunfire. According to details later reported from an arrest warrant, a resident told deputies that Jarrell came to the door beating on it and saying he had been shot, but that he did not know who shot him. Investigators also reviewed camera footage that suggested the shooting may have unfolded at another home on Wren Avenue. That footage reportedly identified two people of interest, and as deputies worked through phone evidence and witness statements, the picture began to narrow toward a suspect. Even then, authorities said they were still trying to determine exactly what led up to the shooting.
By early the next morning, the case had moved swiftly. The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office said that just before 5:00 a.m. on October 29, 2023, investigators took 17-year-old Tylik Mantrez Green of Macon into custody and transported him to the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center. Authorities charged Green with murder in connection with Jarrell’s death, and the sheriff’s office said he was being held without bond. Reporting that followed said Green had first been treated as a person of interest before the arrest was made.
The later reporting added a few more fragments, though not a full explanation. An arrest warrant cited by local media said Green told investigators that Jarrell had a gun, but officers did not find a gun at the scene. The same warrant said investigators believed Green fired at least six rounds. Even with an arrest made within hours, public accounts did not appear to settle the larger question of motive, and law enforcement continued to describe the matter as an active and ongoing investigation. Based on the sources available, the clearest confirmed development after Jarrell’s death was the arrest of Tylik Mantrez Green on a murder charge; I did not find reliable online reporting showing a later trial outcome or conviction in this case.
