Georgia man killed himself as officers sought to ask him about escapees, authorities say

MACON, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia man who officials say shot himself after police officers appeared at his door has died. Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones says 23-year-old Christian Demond Williams died Tuesday from a single gunshot wound and that he had ruled the death a suicide. The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force found him at Macon apartment Monday after investigators got a tip he might have information about four men who escaped Oct. 16 from the Bibb County jail. Williams had been missing since March, just before he was supposed to be tried in a 2021 shooting death. Deputies say another man has been arrested in a car theft connected to the jailbreak.
