Terrence Lamont ’Breeze’ Williams, 32, was found in the late morning of August 12, 2018, inside his apartment at the Oaks at Little Dutchman Creek on Celanese Road in Rock Hill, South Carolina, suffering multiple gunshot wounds. The daytime killing, the city’s third homicide that year, occurred in his residence and shocked the local community. Williams had been a standout on Rock Hill High School’s 2002 state championship football team.

Investigation quickly focused on an acquaintance, Dewight Sheldon Baird, then 36, and authorities said the shooting was not random. Baird fled the scene and abandoned a vehicle at a nearby gas station; he was later located and arrested in Charlotte, North Carolina. Court testimony included a detective’s statement that Baird had emptied his handgun to ensure Williams was dead, and Williams’s mother made an emotional plea in court that led the judge to clear the courtroom for safety. Ten days before trial, Baird pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and received a 15-year prison sentence.
