Dedrick DeWayne Williams, 23, and 29-year-old Mohamed Sead Hussain were found dead on June 1, 2017, in the back of a car near the Amite River. Both men, from Baker, Louisiana, had suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the head and were discovered covered with a sheet by a crew from an electric company.

Investigators later focused on 29-year-old William Bottoms Jr. About three weeks after the bodies were found, Bottoms and his then-girlfriend, Megan Marie Gaylord, were arrested in connection with the killings. Gaylord testified against Bottoms at trial, and forensic evidence was presented linking Bottoms to the murders.

In August 2019 a jury found William Bottoms Jr. guilty of two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Williams and Hussain. Bottoms had an extensive criminal history and drew media attention for prominent facial tattoos; his twin brother, Lawrence Bottoms, had been killed by law enforcement in Mississippi several months before the conviction.

Did anyone in Baker know Dedrick Williams or Mohamed Hussain and have information that could shed more light on what happened that night?
