On a Monday afternoon in March 2016 the parking lot of the Hartford Walmart was the scene of a fatal shooting. Larry Williams, 34, of New Britain, was struck multiple times in his lower torso during what police described as a drug transaction that turned violent. An off-duty Hartford officer was alerted by Walmart employees to gunfire; Williams was found seriously wounded and taken to Hartford Hospital, where he was pronounced dead in the early hours of March 29, 2016.

A few days after the shooting a 26-year-old Windsor man named Kenneth Reid contacted police and admitted involvement, saying he fired in self-defense after Williams allegedly tried to rob him with a shotgun. Reid cooperated with investigators and identified both a shotgun he said Williams had used and the 9mm he had fired. Reid was arrested and charged with one count of murder and held on high bond; prosecutors later reviewed the evidence and concluded the facts were consistent with Reid’s claim of self-defense, and the murder charge was dropped in July 2016.

Are there witnesses or information about the meeting in the Walmart parking lot that hasn’t been shared publicly?
