Jannerra Williams, a 28-year-old man from Austin, Texas, was shot and killed on May 5, 2019, inside a room at the Quality Inn Hotel at 7928 Gessner Drive. People nearby reported hearing a loud bang and then saw three men and a woman run from the room; Williams was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:31 p.m.

Court documents say Doris Mabry-Walker met Williams through the dating app Plenty of Fish and arranged for others to come to his hotel room to buy marijuana. That encounter escalated into a robbery during which Williams was fatally shot. Four people were arrested: Jerome Yancey, Roosevelt Haynes, Timothy Bowie, and Doris Mabry-Walker. Jerome Yancey was convicted of murder on March 28, 2023, and Roosevelt Haynes pled guilty in August 2022.

Did anyone in Austin have contact with Williams around early May 2019 or recall seeing activity at the Quality Inn that night?
