Witnesses reported hearing gunfire and seeing a dark-colored vehicle speed away shortly after the shooting. Investigators said the incident may have been related to a dispute, but no suspects were immediately identified and the case remains under investigation.

Williams’s death was counted among the city’s rising homicide total for 2014, a trend that prompted community leaders to call for more action on violent crime. If anyone has information about the shooting or the vehicle seen leaving the scene, contact the HPD Homicide Division or Crime Stoppers.
