The Macon
Police Department is investigating an attempted
carjacking, which resulted in a person being wounded by a
gunshot.
32-year old Romi Jefferson of Macon was
stopped at the intersection of Mead Rd. and Broadway, when she
noticed two black males over on the side of the road. She at
first thought they were going to cross the road, but realized
they had guns and were approaching her vehicle. She pressed the
gas pedal and went through the intersection to leave the area,
but the suspects fired at her vehicle.
Jefferson suffered a non-life threatening injury
to her left leg. As she was on her cell phone calling 911, she
came up on an Officer at the intersection of Broadway and
Eisenhower Pkwy. She was taken to the Medical
Center of Central Georgia for treatment.
The suspects are described as being black
males, dressed in black or dark clothing, and had something
black covering their faces. They are both believed to be armed
with handguns.
This case is still under investigation and
