Larry Williams Jr., a 25-year-old Black man and father of three, was shot in Norfolk on the evening of May 24, 2017. Just after 8:30 p.m., gunfire rang out on the 500 block of Walker Avenue; emergency crews found Williams with gunshot wounds and he was taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, where he died overnight. He was also expecting a daughter in September that year.

His killing was counted as Norfolk’s 15th homicide of 2017 and the fourth homicide during an especially violent week. The Norfolk Police Chief publicly noted a troubling trend of people using firearms to settle disputes. In the days after the shooting police had no suspects and had not determined a motive, and investigators appealed to the public for information via the Norfolk Crime Line.

Does anyone who lived in the Walker Avenue area that night or who knew Larry have information that could help bring his family some answers?
