Terry Smith, 35, was fatally shot in the head outside the Tree Top Café on East Farm Road in Waterbury, Connecticut, on August 12, 2017. Smith had stayed in the driver’s seat of an Acura while accompanying a friend, Kenneth Martin, inside the bar. Surveillance footage shows Robert Williams approach Martin; Martin drew a firearm and began shooting, and Williams returned fire. A stray bullet struck Smith in the head; he was taken to a local hospital and died soon after.

Police arrested 46-year-old Robert Williams later that same day and charged him with murder. Williams and Smith were both reported to have prior criminal records; Williams also suffered a gunshot wound to his leg during the exchange. Williams was later tried; a jury acquitted him of murder but convicted him of first-degree manslaughter with a firearm. The Connecticut Supreme Court subsequently ordered a new trial, finding the trial judge failed to give proper self-defense instructions on the manslaughter charge.

Does anyone have information about the events outside the Tree Top Café or the people involved that could shed light on what happened?
