James Terrell Williams, 24, was shot and killed on the early evening of January 4, 2013, while walking in the 600 block of Homestead Avenue in Hampton, Virginia. Emergency crews were called at 7:54 p.m., and Hampton Fire and Rescue personnel pronounced him dead at the scene. His death was recorded as the city’s first homicide of 2013.

Two individuals were identified and arrested after the shooting: a 16-year-old male, Shallah Allen, and an 18-year-old man, Richard Browne III, both from Hampton. Each was charged with murder, robbery and two counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony. The 16-year-old was held at Newport News Secure Detention and the 18-year-old at Hampton City Jail. Prosecutors later nolle prossed the charges against both, and no one has been convicted in the killing. The case remains open and unsolved.
