Robert Allan Williams, 31, was found dead on November 9, 2022, at a home on Lucas Road in Erwin, North Carolina, after officers responded to a reported domestic disturbance. He had multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police recovered a gun and a hatchet there, evidence of a violent altercation.

Investigators identified Williams’s girlfriend, 31-year-old Jaimie Strickland, as involved in the incident; she was taken into custody and charged with murder. Reports say Strickland had stabbed Williams during a separate domestic incident about five months earlier, though no charges were filed then. The police described the event as a domestic dispute and said they did not believe there was a threat to the wider community.

Anyone with information about Robert Williams, his relationship with Jaimie Strickland, or the events leading up to November 9, 2022, is asked to come forward.
