Bibb County Deputies Arrest Two in Armed Robbery, Seek Help Identifying Third Suspect

MACON, Georgia – The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in identifying a third suspect in connection with an armed robbery and aggravated assault that left an 18-year-old man shot.

The incident occurred at approximately 11:19 a.m. on February 14, 2026, at Sprint Foods, located at 3198 Mercer University Drive. Deputies responded to reports of shots fired inside the business.

During the investigation, deputies determined that two suspects attempted to take a firearm from a patron inside the store. During the struggle, the 18-year-old victim was shot. The suspects fled the scene with the victim’s firearm. The victim was transported by personal vehicle to a local medical facility and, according to medical staff, was discharged later that day.

On February 19, the Criminal Investigation Division’s Violent Crimes Unit, Gang Unit, Special Investigations Unit, and the U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force executed a search warrant at a residence on Swan Drive.

Investigators took 33-year-old Joshua Jwen Hill and 22-year-old Cecret Brejaneah Bowens into custody. Both were transported to the Criminal Investigation Division and later booked into the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center.

Bowens was charged with misdemeanor willful obstruction of law enforcement officers and felony tampering with evidence. She was released on bond.

Hill was charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault, felony probation violation, and parole violation. His bond was denied.

Investigators are now seeking assistance in identifying a third suspect connected to the case. A photo of the suspect has been released in a be-on-the-lookout alert.

Anyone with information about the identity or whereabouts of the third suspect, or details about the incident, is urged to contact the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office at 478-751-7500 or Macon Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-877-68CRIME.
