Grady Lewis Williams, a 54-year-old Black man, was shot and killed at Andrews Court Apartments on Cusseta Road in Columbus, Georgia, on Thanksgiving night, November 28, 2019. Police were called to the 2400 block just before 11:30 p.m.; officers found Williams fatally wounded by gunfire. Witness descriptions and funeral notices noted a small domestic detail at the scene — food Williams had been carrying spilled on the driveway — underscoring the suddenness of the violence on an otherwise ordinary holiday evening.

Investigators later identified Tyrone Ali Washington as the person they believed responsible. Records show Washington was arrested on December 7, 2021, and booked on charges including murder, malice murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm or knife during the commission of a crime, and possession or transfer of a firearm by a convicted felon or first offender.
