Anthony Raynard Williams, 42, was shot and killed on September 4, 2022, in the 2200 block of Vermont Street in Elkhart, Indiana. Officers responded to reports of gunfire and found Williams with multiple gunshot wounds; he died despite emergency efforts. Family members left to mourn included his mother, children, and siblings.

Investigators concluded the shooting grew out of an interpersonal dispute and say the assailant fired about seven shots. Evidence pointed to a person known to the victim, and archival reports identified the primary suspect as De Shawn Williams, described as a relative. The Elkhart County Prosecutor’s Office later charged De Shawn Williams with murder, and law enforcement issued a warrant when he was not immediately apprehended.

Authorities continued to seek public tips as the case remained open. If anyone has information about Anthony or the shooting, please share what is known with the Elkhart Police Department or local tip lines.
