On the evening of May 4, 2018, 19-year-old Tommy Ballard was fatally shot outside a home on Elmhurst Drive in the Winder Village neighborhood of Bristol, Pennsylvania. Ballard and his friend, 19-year-old Zyisean McDuffie, were in a car that arrived at the residence when an argument escalated into gunfire. Both young men were killed and a third person was wounded.

Bristol Township police and Bucks County detectives investigated the double homicide. Two men were arrested in connection with the shootings: Joseph Williams and Gary Goddard. A jury found Joseph Williams guilty of two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Ballard and McDuffie and guilty of the attempted murder of the third person; he was sentenced to two consecutive life terms without parole. Gary Goddard was convicted on charges including attempted murder and received a 12½ to 25-year prison term.
