Dean Williams, 59, of Washington, North Carolina, was shot and killed early on December 23, 2016. The shooting happened about 3:15 a.m. in the front yard of the residence at 308 E. 14th St., where both Williams and 38-year-old Maurice Andrea Gardner, also known as Maurice Andrea McCullough, lived. Williams was shot multiple times; the exact number of gunshot wounds was pending confirmation from the autopsy.

Gardner was arrested the same morning and charged with murder and possession of a firearm by a felon. He was held in the Beaufort County Detention Center without bond awaiting his first court appearance. Police said the two men were not related and that the nature of their relationship was under investigation.

Does anyone have information about Dean Williams, his activities in Washington, or what led to the altercation that morning?
