MACON, Ga. — Bibb deputies have arrested two teens in connection to the fatal shooting and aggravated assault of 16-year-old Elijah Jones and 17-year-old Tyrin Riggins Tuesday evening.
According to a news release from the Bibb County Sheriff's Office, Monday afternoon, Jones and Riggins drove to Scotland Avenue to sell a gun to someone in the area. While they were sitting in the car, several people came up, reached into the car, and tried to take the gun from Jones. When he tried to drive away, shots were fired into the car, hitting Jones in the upper torso and Riggins in the leg. The release says Riggins pulled Jones into the passenger seat and he moved into the driver's seat, driving the car to a friend's home at Sandy Springs Apartments located at 3044 Bloomfield Road. The Macon-Bibb 911 Center received a call that a person was shot and deputies were dispatched to the apartment complex.
