On the evening of July 21, 2020, Anthony Williams, a 39-year-old Black / African American man, was shot and killed on Lake Street in Norwich, Connecticut. The shooting occurred about 4:30 p.m. and has been described by authorities as a targeted attack, leaving the community searching for answers.

Within days investigators identified a suspect and by July 24 an arrest warrant had been issued for 39-year-old Phillip Wise of Norwich. Police linked a red Hyundai with South Carolina plates to the crime and to another scene on Club House Road in Lisbon. Wise fled the area and was considered armed and dangerous, triggering a manhunt involving the Norwich Police and the U.S. Marshals.

Detectives tracked leads for months and located Wise in North Carolina in January 2021; he was extradited to Connecticut on February 15 and charged with Williams’s murder, held on $1.5 million bond. Does anyone have information about Williams, the red Hyundai, or the events on Lake Street that afternoon?
