The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a suspect it says killed a 38-year-old Macon man.

Jay'ryon Deshond Earl Willis, 15, is accused of killing 38-year-old Damond Cain Stevens, the sheriff's office told Georgia's WGXA.

Stevens was killed at Houston Avenue and Cynthia Avenue, near Bowden Homes apartments last month.

When deputies were called to the scene of Stevens' shooting, Stevens and a second man were found with gunshot wounds. The other victim, 25-year-old Jacorey Holloway, suffered a non-life-threatening wound, according to WMAZ. Stevens was brought to a nearby hospital after being shot in his side.

The office is asking that anyone with information on Willis' whereabouts or more details on Stevens’ killing is asked to call the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office at 478-751-7500 or Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 1-877-68CRIME.
