Officers responding shortly after midnight to the 1000 block of Day Street Road in Montgomery, Alabama, found Williams with fatal gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene and later cremated.

Police say the killing was one of at least four homicides that weekend in Montgomery. Investigators told the public they do not believe the attacks were random and that in each homicide the victim and the suspect were acquainted. No suspect information or arrests have been released in Williams’s death and the investigation remains ongoing.

Was anyone in the neighborhood that night aware of a disturbance or of Pendarvis Williams’s contacts who might help investigators?
