Tori Denard Harris, 48, was shot and killed outside his home in the Vinings Brooke subdivision of Mableton, Georgia, in the early morning hours of Sunday, November 30, 2025. Harris had been hosting a small post-Thanksgiving gathering; witnesses say the evening began friendly but escalated after the homeowner asked a guest to leave at about 4:13 a.m. that morning.

According to investigators, the guest identified as 50-year-old Nikia Williams refused to go, a verbal dispute turned physical and moved to the front yard, and a single gunshot struck Harris on the front walkway. Williams reportedly fled the scene in a vehicle. Smyrna Police named him the prime suspect and tracked his movements for several days before he surrendered to authorities at the Cobb County Jail on the morning of December 3, 2025, after negotiations involving his attorney. He was booked on murder and aggravated assault charges.

Were any neighbors or attendees at the gathering able to give more detail about how the confrontation began or who else was present that night?
