On August 20, veteran comedian Reggie Carroll was killed by multiple shots from a 12-gauge shotgun in a Southaven, Mississippi house he shared with suspect Tranell Williams.
According to the DeSoto County District Attorney, 38-year-old Tranell Marquise Williams was arrested and has been charged in connection with the murder.
During a press conference, DeSoto County District Attorney Matthew Barton said evidence indicates that Williams and Carroll were roommates – and that the former allegedly used a shotgun in the incident. According to Barton, Carroll had multiple gunshot wounds.
Both Carroll and Williams (who worked as a security professional) were said to be connected professionally with comedian Katt Williams. Barton said there was no indication Katt Williams was there or had any knowledge or involvement in the murder.
