In the quiet city of Bossier, Louisiana, a tragedy unfolded that cut short the life of a young mother, leaving a family and community in mourning. Kalisca Williams, a 26-year-old female, was in her home on Whittington Street on the night of January 21, 2020, when her life was abruptly taken. The evening was shattered by the sound of a gunshot, a single, fateful moment that would have devastating consequences.
When Bossier City Police responded to a call at 11:10 p.m., they discovered Williams inside the residence, unresponsive, with a gunshot wound. Despite the immediate response from the Bossier City Fire Department, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation into the untimely death of Kalisca Williams, a mother of five who was also pregnant at the time, quickly pointed to a suspect. Within a day of the incident, law enforcement officers had made an arrest. Thirty-two-year-old Terrence Ted Brown was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder. Investigators determined that Brown had been involved in an argument with another individual at the residence. During the course of this dispute, he allegedly brandished a handgun and fired, the bullet tragically striking and killing Williams.
The sudden and violent nature of her death sent shockwaves through her family and the wider community. Her eight-year-old daughter remembered her mother as her best friend, a sentiment that underscored the deep loss felt by her children. The family was left to grapple with not only the loss of a daughter and mother but also the unborn child she was carrying. Brown was subsequently booked into the Bossier City jail, his arrest bringing a swift, though somber, development in a case that had so tragically impacted a local family.
