The sixth homicide for 2023 is being investigated by the Police, as a search for the perpetrators continues. This latest killing involves Lance “Lenny” Williams, 37, of Parham, and follows three weeks of fatal shootings and a stabbing.
According to reports, Williams was shot in the vicinity of the Parham Primary School while he was on the nearby playing field. It is alleged that, at about 10 p.m. on Saturday night, September 2, a motorcar drove onto the said field. One of the occupants reportedly alighted from the vehicle and opened fire, hitting Williams multiple times, and then the vehicle is said to have sped off.
Williams was rushed to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre, where he underwent emergency surgery. However, he succumbed to his injuries shortly before 6 a.m. on Sunday morning.
Two years ago, the Police had charged Williams with attempted murder after a wounding incident that took place September 17, 2021.
He had been accused of wounding Tyrone Monroe, 41 – another Parham resident – with a sharp object during an altercation in that town.
Williams had fled the scene after the incident, but had surrendered at the Parham Police Station a few days later, accompanied by his attorney.
Meanwhile, members of the community and Williams’ family reportedly are shocked by his killing and are calling for answers. However, the circumstances that led to his death are not clear at this time.
Of the six homicides that have taken place this year, only one accused has been arrested: Kareem Simon, 42, of Green Bay.
