HPD Homicide Division Detectives B. Stephens and C. Vaughn reported:
HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting at the above address and found the victim suffering from a gunshot wound. Paramedics transported him to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
A preliminary investigation indicated a Buick sedan circled the block several times prior to the shooting. The complainant was on the side of the street with friends and they noticed the vehicle. The suspect vehicle stopped nearby and the victim walked to the Buick. The suspect exited the driver seat, pointed a gun at the victim, and demanded his wallet. A struggle ensued and the suspect shot the victim, took his wallet, and fled the scene.
Further investigation identified Williams as the suspect. He was subsequently arrested and charge for his role in the incident.
