On Wednesday afternoon, December 2, 2020, police in Chattanooga, Tennessee, responded to a call at 3139 Lightfoot Mill Road and found 29-year-old Randy Williams Jr. with a fatal gunshot wound. Investigators described the shooting as the result of a drug transaction that went horribly wrong.

The inquiry led authorities to 27-year-old Terrence Dewayne Lewis, who was reported to have been out on bond for another murder when he was implicated in Williams’ death. Prosecutors proceeded to trial, and a jury found Lewis guilty of first-degree murder. He was sentenced to life in prison for the killing of Randy Williams.

If anyone knew Randy, his movements that day, or has information about the transaction that preceded the shooting, please come forward to assist ongoing community safety efforts.
