MOULTRIE — A Moultrie man involved in a fatal shooting last year outside a Moultrie nightclub will not be tried in the slaying, which was ruled self-defense.

Vance Ervin Cuff, 29,  a former Colquitt County High and University of Georgia football player, was involved in a confrontation on Feb. 4, 2017, with Dewayne Williams Jr. at the 50 Yard Line in which Williams was shot multiple times.

The incident occurred in the early morning hours in the parking lot of the 300 Second St. N.E. sports bar. Williams, 28, was pronounced dead at about 1:30 the same morning.
