Curtis Thornton Rudd was 85 when he was fatally shot during a home invasion at his residence in Cusseta, Alabama, on January 19, 2016. The Chambers County Sheriff’s Office found Rudd deceased at the scene; the killing is described as a violent, senseless act that shook the small community.

Investigators quickly identified three suspects and made arrests: Cedric Jamal Williams, then 26; Tyree M. Williams, then 20; and Jahee R. Williams, then 19, all from Columbus, Georgia. Each was charged with capital murder, plus burglary in the first degree and robbery in the first degree in connection with the home invasion and shooting. Further details about how the case proceeded after those initial charges were not available.

If anyone has information about that night, the people involved, or Rudd’s activities in Cusseta around January 19, 2016, please share what is known.
