Bojangles manager accused of fatally shooting employee’s father in parking lot

ATLANTA (WANF/Gray News) - A manager at a Georgia fast food restaurant is charged with murder after he allegedly shot and killed a fellow employee’s father in the restaurant parking lot.

Maurice Evans, a 25-year-old Bojangles manager, is accused of fatally shooting 43-year-old Dominique Goodman in the restaurant’s parking lot in Palmetto around 1:15 p.m. Sunday, according to an arrest warrant. The warrant states Evans admitted to law enforcement at the scene that he killed Goodman.

Evans was charged with murder, aggravated assault and possession of a weapon in the commission of a felony.

Before the shooting, Palmetto Police say Goodman’s daughter, who works at the Bojangles location, called him about a “disagreement with the team manager.” Family members allege Evans was harassing Goodman’s daughter.

The two men got into an altercation in the restaurant parking lot, according to police, during which Evans shot and fatally wounded Goodman.

Goodman’s family says he was a hard worker and a devoted father. A manager at Honda South in Morrow says Goodman was a top salesman at the dealership for about three years.

Evans is being held at the Fulton County Jail.
