A December 9, 2017 pajama party on Covey Trail near Newnan, Georgia, ended in homicide when 21-year-old Tomas Maurice Gooden was shot in the head in a garage. The gathering had become crowded with unfamiliar people, and witnesses say an argument broke out during a dice game between Gooden and 27-year-old Michael Javon Williams. After Gooden pushed Williams, Williams produced a .40 caliber pistol and fired one fatal shot; someone at the scene reportedly shouted that a gun was present just before the shot.

Deputies found Gooden unresponsive at about 3:30 a.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Both men were reported to have affiliations with rival gangs and gambling was occurring at the party. Michael Javon Williams was arrested the next day on malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon by a felon, and probation violation; he later asserted self-defense at trial and was convicted and sentenced.

Does anyone who attended that party or knew Tomas have details that could clarify what led to the confrontation?
