Carl Allen Williams III, 25, of Fresno, California, was killed on April 13, 2017. He worked as an assistant manager and security guard and was shot while on duty; his death was the first in a series of shootings that day in Fresno.

Authorities later concluded the shooter targeted victims because of their race. Three other men — Zackary Randalls, Mark Gassett, and David Jackson — were also killed during the spree. The suspect was taken into custody and charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder.

Court filings reported an insanity plea was entered and later withdrawn. In 2020 the defendant was convicted of the murders and received life without parole. The families of the victims testified about the impact of the killings.

If anyone knew Carl, his routines, or was in the area that day, any information could still help provide context about what happened.
