Andre Graham, 37, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of November 6, 2021, at a home on Shell Street in Savannah, Tennessee. Officers responding around 2:30 a.m. found Graham deceased from a gunshot wound; he was a resident of Savannah.

Investigators quickly identified a person of interest. An arrest warrant was issued for 32-year-old Andre Cortez Williams of Bolivar, Tennessee; Williams was taken into custody in Jackson on November 16 by U.S. Marshals. He was charged with first-degree murder in the perpetration of a felony, especially aggravated armed robbery, possession of a weapon during the commission of a dangerous felony, and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.

Graham’s sister said he had been visiting a friend when a man entered announcing a robbery and people scattered; she believes her brother, known to carry money, was the intended target. The District Attorney General said the office would review whether to seek the death penalty and would consult Graham’s family. Anyone with information about Graham’s death is asked to come forward.
