A late-night dispute that began inside a Valdosta nightclub spilled into a nearby parking lot and ended in gunfire. Leon Thomas Jr., 31 and from Brooks County, was shot between 2:30 and 3:00 a.m. on April 17, 2021, and died at the scene.

The Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office, working with the Valdosta Police Department, identified a suspect and a warrant for murder was issued for 29-year-old Justin Williams of Valdosta. Williams surrendered to authorities a few days later. A Lowndes County Grand Jury later reviewed the matter and returned a no bill, and the charge was dismissed.

Does anyone have information about that night or the events leading up to the confrontation in the club that could help clarify what happened?
