Diamond Goby Killed Cleaner Shrimp?

Hello! I have a very healthy tank that I added a small cleaner shrimp to right after I cycled it which was around 2 months ago. He molted twice and was a very active cleaner and scavenger. 

Yesterday I decided to add a Diamond Sleeper Goby to the tank and he successfully created his burrow and took to sifting the sand around the tank quite quickly. 

This morning I woke up to the Cleaner Shrimps lifeless body laying near the Goby's Den! 

Would it have been possible that the Goby killed the cleaner shrimp because it went too close to its territory?

I would say it is unlikely.  I have had that fish years back with several varieties of shrimp and I never had a problem, of course, all fish are different.
