Two days later, the tabler shot and killed The 18-year-old club dancer, Tiffany Loraine Dotson, who he said he saw, along with another dancer, 16-year-old Amanda Benefield.

“The murder of men was as cold -blooded as it might be,” McWilliams said. “The murder of the girls was just meaningless. There was absolutely no reason for that.”

“It’s for Tiffany today,” her godfather said, Tom Newton. “And this is justice.”
