On the evening of Monday, June 30, 2025, deputies in Harford County, Maryland responded to a shooting at a home on Bynum Overlook Drive in Abingdon. Inside, 64-year-old Lillian Williams was found with a single gunshot wound to her upper body and was pronounced dead at the scene after deputies attempted life-saving measures.

Investigators identified Lillian’s 66-year-old husband, David Williams, as the person who shot her. He was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder and multiple firearm violations; he was held without bond after an initial court appearance at the Harford County Detention Center. Lillian’s daughter, Rasheeka Brown, and granddaughter, Nya White, described her as a devout Christian who was patient, joyful, and loving. The family said the couple had been together for four decades and married for twenty years and expressed profound shock.

The family announced plans to create the Lily’s Hope foundation to support survivors of domestic violence and families of victims. If anyone knew Lillian or has information about the case, please come forward.
