Tyler Fitzgerald Williams, 29, died in New Albany, Indiana, on June 11, 2020. A husband and father known to family as Juice, he was described as charismatic, caring and active in his community — organizing a protest in honor of his younger brother, playing basketball and enjoying dancing.

On the day he was killed, Williams was involved in a physical altercation with several people. During the struggle a handgun fell to the ground. His wife, Fayawna Williams, picked up the weapon and it discharged; a single bullet struck Tyler in the head and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The New Albany Police Department investigated and, after witness interviews and presenting evidence to the Floyd County Prosecutor’s Office, the death was ruled an accidental shooting and no charges were filed against his wife.

A funeral service was held June 23, 2020, and he was buried at Eastern Cemetery in Jeffersonville, Indiana. If anyone knew Tyler or has information about the events that day, please share what you can.
