On the morning of December 17, 2019, three roommates at the Woodland Village apartments on Butternut Lane in Columbia, South Carolina, were shot dead. Twenty-seven-year-old Duwan E. Williams and his roommates Branton T. Booker, 28, and Sheldon D. Livingston, 26, were attacked around 11 a.m. According to reports, Booker was shot when he opened the door; the assailants then entered and shot Williams and Livingston while they were sleeping. A fourth person in the apartment escaped and called 911.

Witnesses described a man fleeing the scene and getting into a truck. Two men, Justin Tyler Ellaree Hopkins, 21, and Jeremy Savoy Cornish, 38, were later identified as suspects. Hopkins was stopped after leaving an apartment with duffle bags that contained a blood-stained t-shirt and matching ammunition; Cornish was captured by a fugitive task force. Both were charged with three counts of murder and first-degree burglary.

Did anyone in the Columbia area have contact with Duwan Williams or his roommates around mid-December 2019 who could add details about that morning?
