Alabama Man Shot to Death in Dice Game Dispute

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Police say a dispute over $100 at a dice game apparently led to the shooting death of 20-year-old Delvarious Yarnell Johnson of Holt and a suspect has been charged.

In Tuscaloosa, Police Capt. Loyd Baker says Johnson was found dead inside a car at an intersection in Holt around 11 p.m. Friday. Johnson had been shot once in the head.
