15-Year-Old Arrested, Charged With Felony Murder and Armed Robbery in Bibb County

A juvenile suspect has been arrested and charged in the fatal shooting of 41-year-old India Norwood Davis in Bibb County, a development that underscores local concerns about gun violence and youth crime. Deputies responded to a reported shooting at about 4 p.m. in the 2100 block of Adams Avenue and found Davis with a gunshot wound; she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office announced on January 16, 2026 that a 15-year-old had been taken into custody following its investigation. Authorities charged the juvenile with felony murder and armed robbery. Because of the suspect’s age, the sheriff’s office did not release the juvenile’s name. The agency also said the case remains an active investigation and did not provide additional motive or incident details.

Felony murder is a serious charge that alleges a death occurred during the commission of another felony; in this case, prosecutors have linked the alleged killing to an armed robbery charge. Those charges can carry severe penalties and trigger heightened attention from both criminal and juvenile justice systems. The involvement of a juvenile changes some immediate procedural elements, such as withholding the suspect’s name, but it does not prevent prosecutors from pursuing serious charges.

For neighbors and community members on Adams Avenue and across Bibb County, the arrest provides some immediate reassurance that investigators have identified and detained a suspect. It also raises practical questions about neighborhood safety and youth outreach. Residents should remain cautious, report any suspicious activity to local law enforcement, and check on vulnerable neighbors. Community groups and schools may want to re-evaluate after-school supervision and outreach programs that can help reduce the risk of youth involvement in serious crimes.

Investigators have not released a motive, victim-offender connection, or further incident details, so many questions remain. The sheriff’s office has described the investigation as ongoing; readers should expect additional releases as detectives develop more evidence and as the case moves through the charging and court process.

This case speaks to broader community concerns about violent crime and the involvement of minors. Expect follow-up reporting on court filings, any transfer decisions between juvenile and adult court, and further statements from law enforcement as the investigation continues.
