Ayanius Saucer, 17, of Richmond, California, was shot and killed on October 8, 2019, during a carjacking attempt.

Investigators say the shooting occurred while someone attempted to steal his car; charging records name 19-year-old Amir Ray Williams as the shooter and link the encounter to a dispute reportedly over a mutual love interest. Williams was charged with murder and carjacking, and the case included special allegations that could carry an automatic life term.

Ayanius’s early talent and the promise he showed as a young artist are remembered alongside the loss. If anyone knew Ayanius or has information about the events of October 8, 2019, the authorities would still welcome tips.
