A workplace argument in Rome, Georgia, on December 10, 2022, ended with the death of 22-year-old Tyberious Treyvon Byers, a Black male. The dispute began between Byers and his 20-year-old co-worker Idris Dsu Dennis Jr. and became physical; Byers, described as smaller than Dennis, pushed him several times. Dennis stepped away but later returned armed with an AR-15. The confrontation resumed and, after being pushed and grabbed again by Byers, Dennis fired a single shot that struck Byers in the chest. Byers was taken to Atrium Health Floyd and pronounced dead on arrival; an autopsy attributed the death to the gunshot wound.

Dennis was identified and arrested the same day and faced charges including murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony; police also charged him after marijuana was found in his vehicle. In court, both families were present as prosecutors said Dennis retrieved a weapon and returned to the scene, while Dennis expressed remorse and called it a mistake. Does anyone have information about the lead-up to that confrontation or witnessed what happened on Knollwood Drive?
