Macon, GA – An aggravated assault suspect tied to a November shootout was taken into custody Tuesday after Bibb County investigators conducted a traffic stop at a busy Macon intersection.
According to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, members of the Criminal Investigation Division, Special Investigation Unit, and Gang Unit stopped a vehicle at Eisenhower Parkway and Pio Nono Avenue. Deputies said the driver was allegedly armed, and investigators determined he was wanted on an aggravated assault charge.
The arrest stems from a November incident in which deputies responded to ShotSpotter alerts on Houston Avenue. Investigators reported that approximately 31 rounds were allegedly fired during a shootout, prompting a heavy law enforcement response at the time. No injuries were publicly reported from the November exchange of gunfire.
During Tuesday’s stop, deputies detained the male suspect without further incident. The Sheriff’s Office has not yet released additional details regarding potential additional charges, whether a firearm was recovered, or the suspect’s bond status.
Authorities noted that the arrest is part of ongoing enforcement efforts targeting violent crime and gang-related activity across Bibb County and the Macon metro area. Deputies continue to investigate whether the suspect may be connected to other recent gun-related incidents in the region.
Residents in the area may notice increased patrol activity as investigators continue their follow-up work on the case.
