Demetrius Daniels, a 26-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on the evening of April 11, 2021, while seated on a porch in the 4600 block of Reese Road in Columbus, Georgia. He and another man, Rodney Daniels (not related), were on the porch when a black Nissan Altima drove by and an occupant fired roughly 17 rounds. Demetrius was struck and later pronounced dead at a local emergency room.

Investigators linked the shooting to an altercation the previous night at Club Fetish on Armor Road involving Rodney Daniels and treated the attack as retaliatory. Two brothers, Quinton and Johnte Williams, were identified as suspects; surveillance allegedly showed a man leaving the club in a black Nissan Altima, and prosecutors introduced that footage along with cell phone location records and a social media post by Quinton that referenced the nightclub dispute. The defense maintained the evidence was circumstantial and no eyewitness picked either brother out as the shooter.

A Muscogee County Superior Court jury found both Quinton and Johnte Williams not guilty of all charges in January 2026. Johnte Williams was reported to remain in custody on an unrelated fugitive warrant from another county. Does anyone have information about the night of April 11 or the events at Club Fetish the night before?
