Lexus Shantelle Williams was shot and killed in Gallatin, Tennessee, on the evening of April 3, 2018. She was 22, a mother of two and a pre-nursing student at Volunteer State Community College, described as sweet, kind and caring. The shooting occurred about 6:53 p.m. in the 400-block of Buffalo Ridge while she was in a car.

The suspect was identified as her husband, 24-year-old Corey Denzell Williams, who fled the scene and was later arrested by the Gallatin Police Department and charged with first-degree murder. Prior contact with police and reports to a local daycare had raised concerns about his controlling behavior; Lexus had been given resources for domestic violence victims and had an active restraining order against him at the time of her death.

A Sumner County jury convicted Corey Denzal Williams of first-degree murder and reckless endangerment, among other counts, resulting in an effective sentence of life without parole plus eight years; some lesser convictions were later ordered retried on appeal while the murder conviction was upheld. Does anyone have information about Lexus’s life in Gallatin or knew her support circle that could help shed light on what happened?
