They confronted Williams outside a neighbor’s house after hearing a rumor that Williams had El-Daniels’ gun. Williams refused to give the men the gun in his possession. The argument between the three men escalated into a fight. Williams was hit and began shooting at Mapp and El-Daniels; Mapp also started shooting. Mapp was shot but survived. Williams shot El-Daniels in the back, killing him as he attempted to flee the gunfire.

Mapp pleaded guilty in January to having weapons under disability and unrelated charges of Aggravated Robbery and Assault. He will serve 10 years in prison.
