On the morning of December 8, 2016, 33-year-old Montrail Williams was shot and killed at his family’s home on Whitney Avenue in the Frayser neighborhood of Memphis. Officers arriving shortly after 10:00 a.m. found Williams with a fatal gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Tommy Porter was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder; he was booked into the Shelby County Jail. The specific issues that sparked the confrontation remain described as private family matters, and few details about the argument itself have been released.

Did anyone in the Frayser neighborhood have information about the events leading up to that morning or know the family circumstances that might shed light on what happened?
