Former New Jersey Nets player Dwayne Schintzius told investigators he and Williams bet $100 that Schintzius could not drag Williams’ Rottweiler out of his house. Schintzius said he won the bet and told Williams to pay up. An angry Williams went inside, returned with a shotgun and killed the dog, Schintzius stated.

The former teammate told investigators that Williams later pointed the gun at him and told him to clean up the dog’s remains “or you’re next.”
