On the morning of October 23, 2016, 50-year-old Linda Williams was found in the front yard of her Artie Road home in Hammond, Louisiana, with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Deputies responding to a neighbor’s 911 call pronounced her dead at the scene.
Investigators quickly focused on her 53-year-old ex-husband, Jerry Williams Jr. Witnesses reported seeing him flee in a red Ford Mustang immediately after the shooting, and the vehicle was later found abandoned. A warrant charging him with second-degree murder was issued, and he was described as armed and dangerous while the search continued. He later surrendered to detectives, and an arrest followed as the case moved into the legal phase.
The killing has been described in the context of the couple’s history; beyond the timeline of the shooting and the arrest, many details about motive and circumstances remain unclear. Does anyone have information about Linda’s life or the events that led up to October 23, 2016?
