Accident – Death – Obituary News : BIBB COUNTY, Ga. — A tragic incident unfolded in Bibb County, Georgia, on Valentine’s Day, resulting in the death of a 1-year-old child and the arrest of the child’s father on murder charges. The incident occurred in the early morning hours, prompting an immediate response from Bibb County deputies.

At approximately 3 a.m. on Wednesday, authorities received a distress call from the 2000 block of Old Clinton Road, initiating an investigation into a death. Prior to this, at around 12:05 a.m., deputies had also been dispatched to the 3800 block of Flamingo Drive in response to a disturbance report.

Upon arriving at the scene on Flamingo Drive, deputies encountered a woman identified as Janet Dorn, who had sustained injuries from a violent altercation. Dorn’s daughter, Shandrea Spencer, was also present during the incident and called the authorities to report the situation. According to officials, Dorn informed them that the man who had assaulted her had taken her 1-year-old granddaughter with him.

The suspect, identified as 19-year-old Akiem Jamal Jordan, was later found to be the child’s father. The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office promptly issued a “Be On The Lookout” alert for Jordan and a white vehicle he was believed to be traveling in, along with another individual identified as Rahem Devar Ferrell, 20, from Macon.

At 3:03 a.m., deputies located Jordan and Ferrell. Disturbingly, the 1-year-old child was found unresponsive in Jordan’s arms. Despite the efforts of Deputy Coroner Lonnie Miley, who pronounced the child dead at the scene, an autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death.

Following thorough investigation, both Jordan and Ferrell were taken into custody and transported to the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center. Ferrell now faces charges of murder and two counts of aggravated assault, while Jordan is charged with murder in connection to the death of his own daughter, in addition to three counts of aggravated assault. Both individuals are being held without bond.

Janet Dorn, the victim of the initial assault, was provided medical treatment and is currently in stable condition. As investigators continue to piece together the events leading up to the incident, the case remains active and ongoing.

Authorities are urging anyone with information related to this tragic incident to contact the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office at 478-751-7500 or Macon Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-877-68CRIME.
