Eighteen-year-old Robert Williams died from a gunshot wound to the chest on a Saturday evening in the summer of 2018 in the Bronx. The shooting occurred just after 5 p.m. near the intersection of Watson and Ward avenues. He was taken to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead.

Friends and community members held a candlelight memorial and remembered Williams as well liked, funny and loving, a recent high school graduate who had been planning to start college. Early in the investigation police explored whether the shooting was accidental, with reports saying he may have unintentionally shot himself with a friend’s gun after losing control of the weapon, and officials indicated they did not suspect homicide. No arrests have been made.

If anyone was in the Watson and Ward vicinity that evening or has other information about what happened to Robert, please share what you know.
