On January 30, 2023, at about 10:12 p.m. Winston-Salem police responded to a shooting on Geneva Road and found 35-year-old Demetrius Alexander Williams in a parking lot with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries. Investigators say Williams had been involved in an altercation with another individual in the parking lot that escalated into the fatal shooting.

Williams was originally from Fort Pierce, Florida, and had moved to Winston-Salem to work as a truck driver. He is survived by his son Demetrius Williams Jr. and daughters Breanna, Demetria, and De’lan Williams. On February 13, 2023, authorities arrested 21-year-old Tyshaun Martrez Stevenson in Thomasville, North Carolina, charging him with murder; the arrest involved the U.S. Marshals Carolinas Regional Fugitive Task Force and Stevenson was held in the Forsyth County detention center without bond.

Does anyone have information about the altercation on Geneva Road that night or knew Williams in Winston-Salem?
