On the evening of July 13, 2020, a domestic dispute at a second-floor apartment on John Street in Waterbury, Connecticut, ended with 48-year-old William Charles David found in a driveway with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the head. A handgun was recovered at the scene. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner later ruled David’s death a homicide, citing multiple gunshot wounds to the head, torso, and upper extremity.

Police say the confrontation began inside the apartment between David and his girlfriend and escalated after her brother, 35-year-old Ramon Ocasio, arrived. The argument continued outside, with David in the driveway and Ocasio on the second-floor rear porch; officers report Ocasio fired several shots, striking David multiple times, then fled in a red Ford F150 with Florida plates. Waterbury police identified Ocasio as the suspect, obtained an arrest warrant charging him with murder and weapons offenses, and advised the public he should be considered armed and dangerous.

William Charles David, also known as Joe Babe, was born in Waterbury on May 30, 1972. He ran a local lawn care and snow removal business and enjoyed football and time with family. Was anyone in Waterbury familiar with William or who remembers the events that night?
