http://www.macon.com/news/local/crime/article172229652.htmlRobert Clark heard gunfire in the predawn hours Saturday just before Talesha Sierra Taylor was killed a couple dozen feet from his front door.
The 26-year-old woman was shot in the head, lying “like a doll” in a pool of blood in the driveway, Clark said.
A few people were standing near Taylor’s body when Bibb County sheriff’s deputies arrived about 4 a.m.,
but most started backing away, according to an incident report.
“Ain’t nobody talked to the police about nothing,” Clark said. “Everybody went their own way. ...Talk up for somebody. The girl can’t talk up for herself. She’s here and gone.”
A deputy told one of two women who’d stuck around that “no one was stepping forward to help the victim, or help us identify who is responsible,” according to the incident report.
The woman told the deputy that “what happened was not right” and that “Tequilla Brown was responsible for shooting her friend,” the report said.
Hours later, 25-year-old Tequilla Renee Brown was arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault.
Wednesday afternoon, Antwan Sherrod Lamar was arrested by the U.S. Marshal’s Southeastern Regional Task Force. The 24-year-old is charged also with murder and aggravated assault in Taylor’s death.
Thursday afternoon, 64-year-old Clark sat in a lawn chair on the street corner near his house, sipping gin and juice.
He said he’s been having trouble sleeping since Saturday.
A memorial of balloons and teddy bears had been propped up with an orange cone and a bed post in the spot where Taylor died. Clark said he’d help set it up, but Tropical Storm Irma had taken its toll on it, deflating most balloons and soaking the stuffed animals.
Investigators looked into Brown’s Facebook, named “Tequilla Renee Tweety,” after a friend of Taylor said Brown pulled the trigger.
Apparently, Brown and Taylor had some beef on Facebook that escalated, according to a post by their mutual friend named Kenteria Baldwin.
