The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office has released video and asked for public assistance to locate a suspect connected to a recent homicide that occurred near Poplar and Second streets in downtown Macon.

Authorities are searching for the suspect in the death of 59-year-old Albert Kenneth Knight. Knight was found dead in an alleyway on First Street Lane on May 26 after he was “struck several times in the head,” deputies said.
