In late summer 2022, 45-year-old Gary Williams, a White/Caucasian man, was fatally shot in the back in Ardmore, Oklahoma, on August 27. The shooting occurred as Williams was attempting to drive away in a vehicle belonging to the boyfriend of Meghan Matthews. Matthews, 29 at the time, told authorities Williams was trying to steal the car and had attempted to run her over; she was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.

Matthews initially pleaded not guilty and the case went to trial but ended in a mistrial after an extra juror was present during deliberations. Following that, she changed her plea to guilty of second-degree murder and was sentenced to eight years in prison, to be followed by two years of probation. The case raised questions about self-defense claims and the use of lethal force in defense of property.

Did anyone in Ardmore have contact with Gary Williams in the days before August 27, 2022, or new information about what happened that night?
