MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Bibb County Sheriff David Davis says a Thursday night shooting that left a Macon teen dead, may have been a gambling bet gone wrong.

19-year-old andrew Sims was shot in the chest on Majestic Court and taken to the hospital where he later died.

Two others were also shot. 32-year-old Demario Shinholster and a 16-year-old boy are listed in stable condition at the Medical Center, Navicent Health.

21-year-old Gabriel Palmer was hit by a car said to have been involved in the incident.

“We think it had to do with some illegal business that these individuals were engaged in, some gambling maybe even drugs and so that’s sort of the root cause or foundation of conflict that sort of brought on this shooting last night,” Sheriff Davis says. 

A Bibb Sheriff’s report says five men drove up to a home on Majestic Court around 11 p.m. and confronted a man accusing him of stealing money after gambling — the man punched one of the people in the car and that’s what started the shooting.

Sheriff Davis adds they’re boosting patrols in the area.

“That’s part of what we’re doing with these safety walks and we will be out there in that community in the very near future as well as other neighborhoods throughout the county,” Davis says. 

Davis says investigators are trying to recreate the crime scene to see who was where when the shooting happened.

He tells 41NBC they’re still interviewing possible witnesses and gathering evidence.

Anyone with information in the case is urged to call the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.
