Terrell Williams, a resident of Kissimmee, Florida, was fatally shot on December 25, 2023, outside the Cafe Lungo Hookah Bar and Lounge. The incident occurred around 5 am when Williams was gunned down by Gabriel Correa.
Correa's actions were reportedly triggered by an altercation inside the bar. After becoming upset with someone inside, Correa stormed out of the venue and shot Williams.
This senseless act of violence took the life of an innocent man, leaving his family and friends in grief.
Williams was a father of two and had several siblings. He was remembered by his loved ones as a vibrant and caring individual. His fiancé, Kimberly Linden, and his mother, Mattia Williams, spoke highly of him, highlighting his positive impact on those around him. Mattia Williams recalled the light he brought to her and the community, describing him as the "life of the party."
In the aftermath of his death, friends and family gathered outside the Cafe Lungo Hookah Bar and Lounge to honor his life. They shared memories, stories, and held a candlelight vigil in his memory. The gathering took place in the parking spot where Williams was shot, which was marked with velvet ropes, banners, balloons, and pictures of him.
Gabriel Correa was subsequently arrested in Polk County and is currently being held in Osceola County Jail. He faces multiple charges, including murder with a firearm. The arrest brought some sense of relief to Williams' family, who expressed their hope for justice in the wake of this tragic event. Linden emphasized that Correa "deserves to get what's coming from him" for taking an innocent life without reason.
