Demarcus D.J. Antonio Williams Jr., 22, was fatally shot the night of January 19, 2022, inside a split-level rental on North Brunswick Avenue in South Hill, Virginia. Police responding to reports of gunfire after 11 p.m. found Williams dead in the home and 31-year-old Kevin Edmonds of Rawlings suffering serious gunshot wounds; Edmonds was airlifted to a Richmond hospital and died during surgery.

Investigators concluded the incident began as a drug transaction that turned into a robbery. Williams and Montavius Royal had gone to sell marijuana and were met by Jadeen Person, 21, who lived at the residence. Evidence and testimony presented at trial described a struggle in which Williams fatally shot Edmonds, then Person returned and shot Williams multiple times; Williams suffered nine gunshot wounds. Person initially gave false accounts to police, later admitted firing after gunshot residue was found on his hands, and was charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in July 2022. The jury convicted Person in November 2023 and he received an active 20-year sentence in April 2024.

Are there details about the meeting that night or people present at the house that anyone can add?
