And today Superintendent Cowo told us that police have no knowledge of any prior threat to Willam's life.

Alejandro Cowo - Supt. OC, CIB
"Over the past days' several persons have been detained especially from the Pregnant Alley area they have been questioned and they were released as there is not enough evidence to charge anybody at this time there captured. The surveillance camera that we have there and other cameras that we have viewed show certain information that is assisting us however up to now we cannot identify the person in that surveillance footage. He is a businessman and we are looking at different information that we are receiving but up to now that he had any direct threat or anything no we don't have that kind of information."

Williams was the owner of a licensed gun but curiously was not carrying the weapon on the night he was murdered.
