"There was some kind of misunderstanding between the two, who have previously been friends," said Corie Byrd, a police spokeswoman.

Investigators said the shooting was recorded by surveillance cameras and was witnessed by a woman in the shop.

"That really helped us get to that point in the case that we could decide that it was a homicide," Byrd said.

Williams was arrested at his home Friday and was booked into the Marion County Jail, where he is being held in lieu of a $50,000 bail.

The shooting remains under investigation.
