Matthew Williams was 32 when he was shot and killed on December 28, 2016, in Chicago, Illinois. His death came during a year that saw 762 homicides in the city, a level of violence described as the most severe Chicago had experienced in two decades.

The city’s low homicide clearance rate, strained law enforcement resources, and public distrust following events such as the release of video from the 2015 fatal police shooting of Laquan McDonald are noted as part of the broader context. Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced plans to add 1,000 officers in response to the spike in violence.

Does anyone have information about Matthew Williams, where he lived, or circumstances surrounding the shooting on December 28, 2016?
