In the quiet neighborhood of Autumn Woods in Prairieville, Louisiana, the life of 40-year-old Tarrence H. 'Baby T' Williams, Sr. was tragically cut short on the night of Wednesday, July 13, 2022. A loving family man and devoted father, Williams was found shot to death in a home around 10:30 p.m. His death was the unfortunate outcome of what authorities have described as a heated argument.
Originally from St.
Rose, Louisiana, Williams was a graduate of Destrehan High School and had built a life for himself as a certified welder. He was a father to three sons with his former wife and had a daughter with his girlfriend. Remembered as a man who cherished his family, his sudden and violent death sent ripples of grief through his community.
The Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office quickly identified a suspect in the fatal shooting. Jerome Lilly, 37 years old at the time, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Investigators determined that a dispute between Lilly and Williams had escalated, leading to the deadly confrontation. While an arrest was made, the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the argument and subsequent shooting was initially described as ongoing, with the possibility of further developments.
