Fred Williams III, a 23-year-old Black man and father, was fatally shot in the Grand Rapids area on November 18, 2011. Reports place the shooting outside a body shop in Wyoming, a suburb of Grand Rapids, but law enforcement has not released significant details about how the shooting unfolded or any possible motive.

Family members publicly prayed for closure and justice in the year after the killing, but no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified. The case remains an unsolved homicide and is considered a cold case, leaving Williams’s loved ones with unanswered questions about what happened.

If anyone remembers seeing activity around the body shop in Wyoming on or around November 18, 2011, or has information that could help, please come forward.
