A fatal shooting at the Executive Inn on Watson Boulevard in Warner Robins, Georgia, ended the life of 52-year-old D’Andre Nepoleon Willis in the early hours of Wednesday, July 20, 2016. Police were called about 4:15 a.m.; officers found Willis with three gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital and later pronounced dead.

Investigators say a prior altercation between Willis and another man escalated at the motel. Warner Robins police arrested 38-year-old Artis Christian Jones later that same day and charged him with murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The department confirmed a suspect was in custody but did not immediately release names when first announcing the arrest.

The shooting came amid a troubling period for the area: another fatal motel shooting happened about three weeks earlier across the street at the Budget Inn, though authorities reported no evidence linking the two incidents. If anyone has information about Willis, the events at the Executive Inn, or the days leading up to July 20, please come forward.
