On the night of August 18, 2017, at about 11:03 p.m., Hakim Williams, 31, was found inside his car on Fulton Street in New Brunswick with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Williams lived on Howard Street in New Brunswick.
Investigators from the New Brunswick Police Department and the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office identified three people of interest: Michael Martin, 26 (also known as Maniac), Rayshawn Riddick, 31, both from Newark, and Dianna Williams, 26, a New Brunswick woman believed to have been with the two men after the shooting. Riddick was arrested in New Brunswick on September 14, 2017; Martin, who had fled, was arrested in Philadelphia on October 23, 2017. Both men were charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, while Dianna Williams was charged with hindering prosecution of another.
A Middlesex County grand jury returned a five-count indictment in November 2017. A trial that began in June 2019 resulted in guilty verdicts in July 2019: Michael Martin, then 28, and Rayshawn Riddick, then 33, were found guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder and face prison terms of 30 years to life.
