In the spring of 2018, a confrontation over a stolen car in southwest Atlanta ended with the death of 43-year-old Tiawan Williams. Williams had tracked his wife’s stolen vehicle to a residence on Nathan Road on the evening of May 10 and went there to confront Quordell Tarver, the man he believed had taken the car. The encounter escalated; both men were armed and a verbal argument turned into a shootout.

Police arrived at 8:39 p.m. and found both men with gunshot wounds. Williams was pronounced dead at the scene. Tarver suffered a gunshot wound to his leg and was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in stable condition; he was arrested on multiple outstanding felony warrants for unrelated charges, including weapons, robbery, and escape. The investigation into the fatal shootout was reported to be ongoing.
