Teville Williams, a 30-year-old Jamaican national who lived in Stowe and was remembered by friends and family for his kindness and warmth, was shot and killed in downtown Burlington on August 24, 2024. The incident began just after midnight when a dispute inside the Red Square bar on Church Street between Williams and a 22-year-old woman, Aaliyah Johnson, turned physical and security staff escorted both people out through different exits. Johnson is accused of waiting for Williams outside and then firing multiple shots at close range on the street.

A community service officer heard the shots from nearby City Hall Park and called Burlington Police. Officers, an off-duty officer and bystanders attempted CPR before Williams was taken to the University of Vermont Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Police arrested Johnson at the scene and recovered a .45 caliber handgun. Court filings show she was charged with first-degree murder, pleaded not guilty and was being held without bail pending trial. Security camera footage from inside and outside the bar captured the altercation and the shooting.

Does anyone who was in the area that night or knew Teville have information that could help clarify what led to the shooting?
