A domestic dispute at an apartment in Lithonia, Georgia on February 28, 2024, ended in a fatal shooting that killed 25-year-old Treyvon Vallery. Vallery, a former Albany State college football player, was at the Belle Vista apartments with his girlfriend, 25-year-old Nina Shaw, when an argument began. Nina Shaw called her father, 47-year-old Royricas Shaw, who came to the apartment and became involved in the confrontation.

Police reports say Royricas Shaw fired at Vallery and missed. Vallery then fired back, striking Royricas Shaw in the hip. Moments later Nina Shaw produced a gun and shot Vallery; officers arrived about 2:50 p.m. and found Vallery dead from at least one gunshot wound. Royricas Shaw went to a hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Both he and Nina Shaw were arrested and charged with malice murder and are being held without bond in the DeKalb County jail.

Are there witnesses or video from the Belle Vista complex who can clarify the sequence of shots and who fired first?
