George Deon Williams, 37, was shot and killed on the evening of Tuesday, June 15, 2021, in the driveway of his home on South Hickory Street in Aberdeen, Mississippi. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene; the Monroe County Coroner attributed his death to gunshot wounds.

The Aberdeen Police Department arrested two men within a day of the shooting: George Strong and Bobby Smith. Both were initially charged with murder and held on $200,000 bonds. A Monroe County grand jury later indicted Bobby L. Smith for murder and returned an amended charge of accessory after the fact against George Strong, indicating the grand jury found evidence Strong assisted after the crime. No trial date had been set and the case was pending trial as of early 2022.
