Dyshon Williams, 19, was shot and killed in Bridgeport, Connecticut on the night of February 11, 2019. He had arranged to meet an acquaintance, 19-year-old Darrick Tunstall, in the parking lot of the Luis Munoz Marin School around 10:30 p.m. to sell two ounces of marijuana. Williams arrived with a witness; police say the meeting turned violent when Tunstall and another man, 20-year-old Vaughn Thomas Jr., allegedly attempted to rob him. Williams was later found on a sidewalk on Boston Avenue with a gunshot wound to the torso that penetrated his neck and was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers were first alerted by a ShotSpotter report and discovered Williams body about two hours after the initial shots were reported. Surveillance footage played a role in the investigation.

Authorities arrested Tunstall and Thomas in May 2019 on charges tied to the killing; both faced robbery-related charges, and Thomas was also charged with weapons offenses. While in custody Thomas was later charged in federal court with attempting to have a witness killed. In January 2024 both men pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter with a firearm, first-degree robbery, conspiracy, and illegal possession of a pistol, and were each sentenced to 20 years in prison for their roles in Williams death.

If anyone knew Dyshon, his movements that night, or has information about the meeting at the school parking lot, please come forward.
