Brandon Limar Williams was 25 when he was shot in the early morning hours of February 10, 2017, in the parking lot of TJ’s Sports Tavern at 7015 Huntington Avenue in Newport News, Virginia. He was found inside a car about 12:45 a.m. with a gunshot wound, taken to a nearby hospital, and died less than an hour later.

Investigators identified 29-year-old Kweisi Mfume Williams of Smithfield as the suspect; the two men were not related. Reports say Brandon had been looking for a lighter for the man who would shoot him, and the shooting was linked to an attempted robbery. Arrest warrants charged Kweisi Williams with first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and two counts of attempted robbery. He was later located in South Carolina and taken into custody at the Orangeburg-Calhoun Regional Detention Center.

If anyone knew Brandon, saw him that night, or has information about the incident, please come forward.
