MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. — A 39-year-old Milledgeville woman was reportedly badly beaten early Sunday in a baseball bat attack at a local apartment complex. Local authorities are looking for the whereabouts of three people in connection with the aggravated assault case.
The incident happened between 3:45 a.m. and 4:32 a.m. at The Milledgeville Manor Apartments, located at 1498 S. Jefferson St., according to an incident report filed by Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Joshua Holcomb.
Outstanding felony warrants have been issued for the arrests of two men and a woman.
The suspects were identified Monday morning, according to warrants, as Ricky Tamario Myrick, 28; Johnny Antoine Mosley, 27; and Remonica Leann Myrick, 32, all of Milledgeville addresses. The three suspects are each charged with a felony count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, records show.
The suspects were still being sought Monday afternoon.
In his report, Holcomb said he and other deputies responded to a call about a fight at the apartment complex. The altercation was reported to have taken place in front of the “E” and “F” buildings. While en route to the call, dispatchers received several more telephone calls that a woman had been seen chasing a man with a knife.
A short time later, dispatchers received another telephone call saying her son had been stabbed.
One of the callers said the female suspect was chasing people around with what appeared to be a knife, Holcomb said in his report.
Holcomb said after he and other deputies arrived at the apartment complex, they canvassed the area looking for any of the offenders or witnesses.
The deputy who filled out the report said they saw no one fighting and no witnesses at the scene.
Holcomb said when he and Deputy David King later went to a nearby residence to conduct a welfare check, they learned that a group of individuals had attacked a woman’s daughter at The Manor.
At the time, the victim was laying in the backseat of a Dodge Charger, Holcomb said.
“I observed a considerable amount of blood on the (victim’s) face, and around her nose and mouth,” Holcomb said in his report.
The deputy said he also saw a large swollen area on the victim’s forehead and both of her eyes.
The victim was in what Holcomb described as “extreme pain,” and was unable to answer many questions.
The victim managed to tell Holcomb and King that a woman and her brothers had severely beaten her with a baseball bat. She also provided deputies with aliases of the suspects.
The victim’s mother told deputies that she had received a telephone call earlier that her daughter had been beaten in The Manor. The woman said she later drove there to pick up her daughter.
The woman said as she drove up, she witnessed a man strike her daughter over the head with a baseball bat. The woman explained that when she threatened to call police the man dropped the bat and she retrieved it before she drove back to her residence with her injured daughter.
King later took the bat into his possession for evidence in the case.
The victim was treated at her mother’s residence for her injuries by firefighters/first responders with Baldwin County Fire Rescue and personnel with Grady Emergency Medical Services. She was taken by ambulance to The Medical Center of Navicent Health in Macon.
Deputies later learned from the victim’s mother that her son also had been injured during the altercation at the apartment complex. She said her son was struck on the head with a baseball bat, which resulted in the bat breaking. The woman said that she retrieved a portion of the broken bat.
She also told deputies that her son sustained a stab wound to one of his arms.
The woman said her son was OK and that he didn’t wish to cooperate with the sheriff’s office.
She explained to deputies that her grandson had broken down in The Manor and that her daughter had walked there to see if she could assist him. It is not yet known, based on the incident report, if the woman’s son was injured while attempting to assist her grandson.
A short time later, the woman said that was when she received a telephone call informing her that her daughter was being jumped and that was when she drove to the apartment complex to get her daughter.
Anyone with information on whereabouts of the three suspects sought in the case is asked to call the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office tip line at 478-445-5102.
