Charles Allen ’Charlie Boo’ Williams, 55, was found dead the night of Friday, May 13, 2016, on a road just south of the Tupelo city limits. He died of a gunshot wound to the head; his death was ruled a homicide. Williams was working as a cab driver for A-1 Cab Service when two motorcyclists discovered his body at about 10 p.m.

Investigators traced a cab call placed around 9:30 p.m. that night and say interviews led them to 23-year-old Leontay Gates. Authorities allege Gates forced Williams out of the cab at Graham Drive, robbed him and shot him, then abandoned the stolen cab a few miles away. Gates surrendered to police on May 16, 2016, and was charged with capital murder; prosecutors announced an intention to seek the death penalty. He pleaded not guilty to that charge and to three additional felony counts.

If anyone knew Charles Williams, his work routes, or saw a cab in the area that night, please share what you remember.
