William Brodie Grooms, known as Billy, was shot and killed on June 19, 2015, in Panama City Beach, Florida. He was 32 and had been born February 24, 1983, in Key West. A Key West High School graduate, he attended North Carolina Methodist on a football scholarship and was described as a well-liked member of his community.

The shooting occurred at the home of a neighbor identified only as Carter on Sterling Cove Boulevard after a confrontation between the two men. Carter called law enforcement around 11 p.m. to report the shooting and was taken into custody and questioned as investigators sought to determine whether the shooting was justified or criminal. Authorities examined the evidence and witness accounts to decide on possible charges.

Billy’s family and community were deeply affected by his death. Does anyone have information about that night or about Billy’s life in Panama City Beach that could help clarify what happened?
