Authorities in Palmetto are looking into a serious incident that unfolded on Sunday afternoon in the parking area of a Bojangles restaurant, where a father tragically lost his life following a confrontation.
According to preliminary details shared by investigators, a dispute took place between two men — the restaurant’s manager and the individual who later passed away. What began as a verbal disagreement quickly intensified and led to a violent encounter outside the establishment.
Palmetto Police have taken Maurice Nolan Evans, a resident of Forest Park and an employee of Bojangles, into custody in connection with the event. Evans is facing charges that include murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Officials say the investigation remains ongoing as they piece together the events that led up to the tragedy. Law enforcement is continuing to interview witnesses, review surveillance footage, and gather additional evidence to determine the full sequence of events.
Community members have expressed shock over the situation, noting that this type of occurrence is rare for the area. Authorities are urging anyone with further information to come forward as they work to bring clarity and accountability in the aftermath of the incident.
