Two different homicides involving men named Robert Williams appear in this file and must be kept separate. The first concerns Robert D. Williams, 34, who was reported missing on February 17, 2019 while visiting Jackson, Mississippi, from New Orleans. He was last known to be traveling to see a friend in Byram. On March 1, 2019 his body was found beneath the Owens Road bridge in Terry. The Hinds County coroner ruled the death a homicide by a gunshot wound to the chest. His vehicle was recovered in Raymond with luggage and personal effects inside, but that car was later stolen from the police impound lot. The family reports they never received an official autopsy report and that evidence handling raised concerns. As of early 2022 the case remained open and Central Mississippi Crime Stoppers was offering a reward; no suspects or arrests have been publicly identified.

The second incident described occurred August 11, 2021 and involves a 39-year-old Robert Williams who worked as a FedEx driver. He was shot and killed in his delivery truck during his route. Friends and family remember him as outgoing and upbeat.

If anyone knew either man, was in the areas described, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
