A man was killed and six others hospitalized after a shooting at a “shot house”, Bibb County authorities said.
Sheriff David Davis said the shooting occurred at around 1 a.m. Thursday at a house where alcohol was being sold illegally and where a person was fatally shot a year ago.
Jawasiki Deuventa Guyton, 34, was shot to death while another man was critically injured and five others were in stable condition.
Davis said an argument broke out among patrons at the shot house on Macon’s south side when the gunman “took a gun out and started just seemingly indiscriminately shooting.”
“When you have people that mix alcohol, guns, and then some type of argument, that’s when it can be dangerous, and in this case, deadly,” Davis added.
The sheriff said the house had been shut down for much of the year but bootlegging activity continued at another house on the same street. Recently, illegal alcohol selling resumed at the house.
“It’s kind of like playing Whac-A-Mole, you know. We’ll catch them one place and then they’ll move to another.”
