On the evening of Sunday, January 22, 2017, a social visit at a home on Hopkins Mill Lane in Duluth, Georgia, ended with two men shot. Michael William Liberty II, 51, and his friend Charles Brown Tyree, 40, had been invited by a 24-year-old host, Davon Dayron Jones. Both victims were struck in the head; Tyree was found dead in the garage and Liberty was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville, where he later died.

Jones was arrested and charged with two counts of felony murder and two counts of aggravated assault. He said the shooting was accidental, and an aunt claimed the gun discharged while Jones was showing it to the victims. Prosecutors countered that Jones was familiar with firearms, had taken a gun safety course, and that his family had previously removed guns from him because of behavioral concerns. After a seven-day trial and six hours of jury deliberation, Jones was convicted on multiple counts including felony murder and malice murder in Liberty’s death.

The motive for the killings remains unclear. If anyone knew Michael Liberty or was in that neighborhood that night, can you share information that might explain what led to this tragedy?
