Robert Thomas, 30, died from a single gunshot to the head after an incident at an Arbor Creek Apartments unit in Conyers, Georgia, during the summer of 2015. Three other men who had been drinking with Thomas told police he produced a revolver, emptied the cylinder, then reloaded a single round and insisted they play Russian roulette as they tried to leave. A shot was heard shortly afterward and Thomas was found fatally wounded.

Investigators initially treated the case as a homicide but later said the evidence and consistent testimony from the three men pointed to an accidental, self-inflicted wound; four rounds were reportedly found in Thomas’s pocket, matching accounts that only one bullet had been left in the chamber. Forensic testing, including gunshot residue analysis by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, was pending and no arrests or charges were reported.

A family member has publicly questioned whether a self-inflicted shot to the back of the head fits the Russian roulette account. Does anyone have information about that night or about the people who were present?
