Police in Clayton County say an argument over body wash led to the shooting death of a man in Riverdale early Wednesday morning.
Clayton County Police Officers were dispatched to the 600 block of Roundtree Road in reference to a stabbing.
Upon arrival, officers discovered the 28-year-old victim dead from several gun shot wounds. Clayton County Detectives worked throughout the day and night interviewing and investigating all possible suspects and leads in this case.
According to the Clayton County Police Department, the investigation revealed it was a domestic violence dispute that turned deadly between brothers. Detectives say the argument initially started because the victim accused the suspect, 24-year-old Jaylan Jones of throwing away his body wash.
Jones was interviewed by Clayton County Detectives. During the interview, detectives say Jones admitted that he argued and fought with the victim upstairs. A witness intervened and was able to break up the fight, but they started fighting once again.
Once separated the final time, the victim went downstairs and police say Jones told detectives he went to his room, retrieved his gun, went downstairs, and shot the victim multiple times.
