Brandon Williams is one of the Atlanta Police Department's Most Wanted fugitives. He was aired on AMW once as a 15-seconds of shame case on July 25th, 2009 and once as a commercial break on September 4th, 2010. Below is the archive description of his alleged crime:
Boy Shot By Neighbor, Killer On The Run
When 16-year-old Corey Coleman's parents heard a neighborhood thug was after him, they sent him away.
Cops say Corey told his parents that he was afraid 22-year-old Brandon Williams might hurt him, so Corey moved.
He left his home in the northwest part of Atlanta for a county south of the city where he continued to attend school.
But on Mother's Day, May 11, 2008, cops say Corey returned to visit with his mother and childhood friends.
He went a house in the neighborhood with a group of friends, but the group was surprised to find Williams was already there, according to police.
Cops say Williams made eye contact with Corey, then went out to his car.
A Deadly Altercation
When Williams returned, witnesses told police, he was armed with a gun.
Cops say Williams shot Corey in front of a large group of friends, then fled.
Corey was taken to Grady Hospital where he died a short time later.
Police are asking for help spotting Williams and they think he may still be in the Atlanta area.
Williams is known to wear his hair in long dreads, but cops say he may have cut them by now.
He has a long criminal history of selling drugs and carrying guns and police warn he is armed and dangerous.
Thoughts? I can only imagine the heartache for Corey's mother especially. There is NEVER a good time to lose your teenage son, but to lose him on Mother's Day makes it even more tragic. What makes this case even more confusing is it doesn't appear it's ever been known what Williams beef was Corey in the first place. Whatever it was, Corey did not deserve what happened to him.
One possible clue is according to 912th AMW's airings said Brandon went by the nickname "Dread" (I don't see that in the archive itself surprisingly)
I feel that despite Williams being on the run for 7 years, he could still be on the run in the Atlanta area or at least the state of Georgia. Archie Byrd hid in plain sight in Georgia for 10 years and only got caught because he jaywalked.
While Williams' current whereabouts are unknown, what is known is he is a VERY dangerous fugitive. He allegedly shot down a teenage boy in front of multiple witnesses. He seemed to anticipate his victim would attend his family together and showed up before he even arrived. That is scary.
That is why Crime Stoppers is such a great tool since you can remain anonymous. So if you know where Brandon Williams is, you have to do the right thing and call them. Crime Stoppers offer cash rewards as well.
