On the late afternoon of November 14, 2021, 18-year-old Cameron S. Williams, a Black/African American male, was seated in his car in the driveway of his Battle Creek home on West Jackson Street near Angell Street when a drive-by shooting left him with a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to a Battle Creek hospital and then transferred to a Kalamazoo hospital, where he died the following day.

Authorities determined the shooting was gang-related and linked it to a series of violent incidents in the neighborhood; additional shootings were reported on Chestnut and Wilkes streets in the days after Williams’ death, though those did not result in further injuries. The Battle Creek Police Department, with Kalamazoo law enforcement, investigated the connected shootings.

Three people were arrested in connection with Cameron Williams’ murder: 18-year-old Antwain Armstrong and two 17-year-olds, Tiquan Williams and Ataeveon Smith, who are being charged as adults with open murder. Pretrial proceedings have been delayed in part by defense challenges seeking the identities of confidential informants for cross-examination.

Does anyone who knew Cameron or who was in that neighborhood in November 2021 have information that could help the investigation?
