Daryl O. Williams was 20 when his body was found in an abandoned apartment building on Harwell Street in Atlanta on October 20, 1985. An investigation determined he died from a single gunshot wound to the back of his head.

Williams was later linked to a string of murders targeting young Black men in the Atlanta area. The suspect in those killings was Michael Devern Terry; the pattern described in the case involved victims lured with the prospect of a sexual encounter, often found shot or stabbed and sometimes partially undressed. Terry was arrested on November 28, 1986, charged in multiple murders including Williams’ killing, and was convicted after a trial in which he claimed self-defense; he received multiple life terms.

Does anyone have memories of Harwell Street in 1985 or information about Daryl Williams that could add to the record?
