The sound of gunfire and a car set ablaze ended the life of 26-year-old Jeremy Maurice Perk Williams in Hartford on February 17, 2010. Police arrived at about 12:53 a.m. on Pembroke Street to find a Mazda 6 fully engulfed. After firefighters put the blaze out, responders found Williams’ body inside; an autopsy later showed he had been shot multiple times before the car was set on fire.

Neighbors told investigators they saw several men near the vehicle shortly after the fire began, but those leads have not produced arrests. Jeremy’s family, including his sister Lacrisha, held a candlelight vigil and an anti-violence rally to draw attention to the case. No suspects have been publicly identified and the homicide remains unsolved.

If anyone saw activity on Pembroke Street that night or has information about the Mazda 6 or the men neighbors described, please come forward to help Jeremy’s family find answers.
