Firefighter Lt. Dwain Williams, a 65-year-old retired African American man from Chicago, was killed on December 3, 2020, during an attempted carjacking in the Morgan Park neighborhood. Williams, who had served 28 years with the Chicago Fire Department, was leaving his favorite popcorn store, Let’s Get Poppin, when four teenagers confronted him as he walked toward his Jeep. A stolen sedan pulled up and the assailants attempted to carjack him.

Lt. Williams, who was legally armed, exchanged gunfire with the attackers and was struck in the abdomen. He later died at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn. Surveillance footage captured the encounter, and investigators arrested four suspects in connection with the incident: Devin Barron, Dwain Johnson, Jaylen Saulsberry, and a juvenile named David Williams. One suspect pleaded guilty to aggravated battery and agreed to testify against the others; the juvenile also accepted a plea and testified.

What new information or leads might help clarify the moments before the confrontation or the suspects’ movements that day?
