Horatio Williams, 57, of Tyler, Texas, was shot on August 8, 2022, after an argument at a pool hall with 60-year-old Frederick Leon Harvey. The argument moved outside; Williams retrieved a shotgun from his van but did not point it at Harvey. About 30 minutes later Harvey returned with handguns and began shooting at Williams. Williams fired back and was taken to a local hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Harvey was arrested that same day and charged with murder and two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm. He later pleaded guilty and received a 32-year prison sentence. Witnesses said Williams had made statements during the day suggesting he might either die or shoot someone.

Are there readers who were at the pool hall that day or who can add details about what led to the argument?
