Palmetto, GA – A Bojangles manager has been charged in the shooting death of his employee’s father during a confrontation in the restaurant’s parking lot. Maurice Evans, 25, faces multiple charges including murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

The shooting occurred around 1:15 p.m. in the parking lot located at 9135 Roosevelt Highway. Police arrived to find Dominique Goodman dead.

Goodman’s teenage daughter, who was employed at the Bojangles, had called her father due to a problem with Evans. In a subsequent altercation, Evans shot Goodman, according to police reports.

Evans was arrested and taken to the Fulton County Jail, where he remains in custody. A family friend described the incident as senseless and expressed concern about the ongoing violence.
