Carolyn Diane Dee Williams, 64, was shot and killed at her Hartford home on Oakland Terrace on the evening of July 17, 2023. Police describe the incident as a fatal domestic violence episode. A 911 call from Williams reported an assault and ended with her screaming that the attacker had a sawed-off shotgun, followed by the sound of a gunshot.

Officers found Williams deceased from a gunshot wound to the chest. Her adult son was on the porch with a head injury, reportedly pistol-whipped by the suspect. In the living room, 63-year-old Lance Logan, described as Williams’s dating partner, was located sitting on a sofa with the suspected sawed-off shotgun on a nearby coffee table and was taken into custody.

Logan was arrested on charges including murder, criminal possession of a firearm, second-degree assault with a firearm and violating a protective order; bond was set at $3 million. Williams worked in the medical field and was remembered for her warm greetings and smiles. Does anyone have information about Carolyn, her son, or the relationship that could help clarify what happened that night?
