OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/31/2025, 37-year-old Larry Sellers Jr. was driving a white Infiniti Q70 on Napier Avenue in Macon when Bibb County sheriff’s deputies began pursuing him near Fairmont Avenue. Police have not publicly disclosed the specific reason deputies initially attempted to stop Sellers or what prompted the pursuit.
.
Sellers continued east on Napier Avenue while deputies pursued. According to Georgia State Patrol Lt. Edward Starling, Bibb County deputies eventually lost sight of the Infiniti and ended the pursuit.
.
Shortly afterward, multiple people called 911 to report that a white Infiniti had crashed into Abundant Word of Grace Church of God in Christ at 3396 Napier Avenue. Georgia State Patrol determined that it was the same Infiniti that Bibb County deputies had been pursuing.
.
The Infiniti crashed through a brick exterior wall of the church, causing extensive damage to both the vehicle and the building. The collision damaged the church’s sanctuary and other portions of the structure.
.
Sellers survived the initial impact and got out of the Infiniti. Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones said Sellers ran approximately 50 yards from the wrecked vehicle before collapsing. He died at the scene.
.
Jones said Sellers had no obvious external injuries when his body was examined. Because of the absence of visible trauma, the precise medical cause of his death was not immediately apparent. Jones said the vehicle’s airbag had deployed and initially suspected that Sellers may have sustained internal trauma to his heart during the collision. An autopsy was ordered to determine the medical cause of death.
.
The Georgia State Patrol investigated the fatal crash and the circumstances surrounding the collision following the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office pursuit.
.
Sellers’ identity is independently confirmed by his obituary. Larry Sellers Jr. was born November 5, 1987, in Macon and died August 31, 2025, at age 37. He was the son of Larry Sellers Sr. and Wilma Bass Sellers and was the father of two children.
