Clayton Troy Williams, 46, of Roanoke was killed by gunfire on the morning of November 14, 2021, in northeast Roanoke. A graduate of William Fleming High School’s class of 1994, he worked as a welder and brick mason and was remembered by family as a loving son, brother, father, and grandfather who enjoyed riding his moped and shooting pool.

Investigators say the initial probe was hampered by a lack of public cooperation, which frustrated law enforcement. Authorities later identified a suspect in the shooting; court filings state Clayton was unarmed when he was shot multiple times.

Anyone who knew Clayton, saw activity in northeast Roanoke that morning, or has information that could help investigators is asked to come forward.
