Xavier Williams, 35, of Miami, was fatally shot on Interstate 95 in Oakland Park, Florida, on January 26, 2025. Detectives say the shooting happened in the southbound lanes north of Oakland Park Boulevard after an earlier physical dispute at a residence in Pompano Beach between Williams and an adult woman. The woman left the scene with another adult man, and at some point on I-95 that man fired a weapon, striking Williams.

Emergency responders found Williams with gunshot wounds; he was taken to Broward Health Medical Center and pronounced dead. The shooter stayed at the scene, cooperated with investigators, and offered a claim of self-defense. The shooter’s identity is being withheld temporarily. The Broward Sheriff’s Office Homicide Unit, led by Detective K. Luna and Sergeant P. Reynolds, is investigating; the matter will be submitted to the Broward County State Attorney’s Office for a charging decision once the probe is complete.

If anyone has information about the altercation in Pompano Beach or the events on I-95 that evening, please share what you know with investigators.
