A long-running dispute ended in fatal violence at the Inferno Sports Bar in Columbus, Mississippi, late on a Friday night in May 2023. Around 11:45 p.m. on May 26, 2023, officers responding to multiple 911 calls found 33-year-old Devin Demartius Thompson had been shot and was pronounced dead at the scene. Four other people were wounded and taken by private vehicle to Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle with injuries ranging from chest gunshot wounds to more minor wounds.

Investigators identified 30-year-old Undra Lamorris Williams as the suspect and described the shooting as stemming from an ongoing disagreement between him and Thompson rather than a random act. After Williams’ name and photo were released, a family member contacted police and Williams surrendered the following evening. Williams was charged with one count of murder and four counts of aggravated assault.
