Anthony Beason, 39, was shot to death late on September 3, 2016, after walking from his neighborhood to a nearby convenience store. Police found him lying partly on the sidewalk and partly in the street outside the store, still clutching an open bag of chips he appeared to have just purchased. Investigators recovered .380-caliber shell casings near the body, and store surveillance captured him making the purchase roughly twenty minutes before the 911 call. The medical examiner recorded gunshot wounds to his abdomen, upper back, and head and ruled the death a homicide.

Testimony later heard in court described a chain of events that led detectives to Christopher Williams.

A family member later found a gun slide in the street consistent with a .380 weapon. Williams first gave a statement blaming Terry, then gave a recorded statement describing stalking and shooting Beason; a grand jury indicted Williams on first-degree murder and related charges, and a jury convicted him of first-degree premeditated murder and felon in possession of a firearm, with the court imposing a life sentence. Does anyone have information about Beason’s routine in that neighborhood or about what was seen near the convenience store that night?
