Steven Williams, 22, was working the overnight shift at the Speedway Express on Glacier View Avenue in Palmer when a man walked in, drew a handgun, and opened fire in the early hours of September 2, 2024. Police arrived just after 12:40 a.m. and found Williams behind the counter with multiple gunshot wounds; he died at the scene. Investigators recovered nine shell casings and surveillance video described in charging documents shows the shooter entering with his face covered, turning toward the register, firing, then leaning over the counter to fire additional shots.

Authorities also alleged evidence tampering connected to the killing and said the attack appeared isolated with no continuing threat to the public. Friends and family publicly mourned Williams in memorials and community posts.
