A verbal argument between two men turned physical outside a BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and one man died.
According to a police report, 32 year old Julius, known to friends as Juice, was fatally shot on Tuesday, Aug. 6, around 3:30 p.m. Police say the suspect is 22 year old Robert. Julius was a newlywed.
Winston-Salem police responded to a disturbance at the restaurant near Hanes Mall. Before officers arrived, the call changed to a report of gunshots. Officers found Julius unresponsive with a gunshot wound, and medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.
Police say the two men began arguing inside the restaurant, then went outside and continued the fight. Moments later, police say, Robert pulled a gun and fired at Julius.
Julius was well known in his neighborhood and worked at a barbershop at Hanes Mall. After news of his death spread, community members called for justice using the hashtag #JusticeForJuice. In a statement posted to Facebook, his wife said, “I want awareness and justice for my husband.”
