In December 2014 James Williams, 69, was found dead inside a 1986 GMC Savana van at the Locker Room Self Storage on South 62nd Street in Southwest Philadelphia. The facility manager discovered Williams lying face down with his hands and legs bound behind him; paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. Police opened the case as a homicide after autopsy findings showed blunt force trauma to the head and additional facial injuries.

Williams was from West Philadelphia and kept a home address there, but primarily lived out of his van at the storage facility where he also worked as a security guard. A friend said he was a longtime member of the State Burners Motorcycle Club and stored his motorcycle at the facility, and that it would have taken more than one person to overpower him.

In the initial investigation no suspects were in custody and authorities released no names of persons of interest. The investigation remains ongoing and the identity of whoever killed James Williams has not been publicly resolved. Does anyone with information about Williams, his work at the storage facility, or that December 2014 period still have information to share?
