Brandon Dante Williams, 32, was shot and killed on the evening of February 4, 2021, in Dorchester near Capen and Evans Streets. Officers found him at about 10:03 PM suffering multiple gunshot wounds; emergency medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.

Family described Williams as a devoted father who’d returned to Boston from Jacksonville a year earlier to care for his hospitalized daughter. He worked three jobs to support her, co-founded a catering business called King and Queens with his mother and sister, loved fishing and coaching youth basketball, and was remembered as the family peacemaker.

Boston Police Homicide Detectives led the investigation. On April 9, 2021, officers from the Boston Police Fugitive Unit arrested a 25-year-old man from Randolph and charged him with Williams’s murder plus firearm- and ammunition-related offenses; the suspect was expected to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court.

If anyone knew Brandon, saw activity near Capen and Evans Streets that night, or has information relevant to the case, please come forward.
