"BAY POINT Guardian Harper and Tamarcus Williams had much in common in life and death. They were both student athletes from the Bay Area who made lasting impacts on those around them, part of the class of 2024, and barely into adulthood when they were killed in what appear to be targeted shootings. Their deaths occurred roughly seven weeks apart last year Harper, 18, was gunned down at a house party in Bay Point by intruders who allegedly bragged about it online afterward."
"Williams, 19, was sitting in a parked vehicle outside a Fairfield smoke shop when a man walked up to him and shot through the passenger window, then ran to a getaway car, authorities say. They might have had something else in common: the same killer. On Aug. 22, prosecutors in Solano County filed charges of murder and personal use of a firearm against 20-year-old Adonnis Evans, a Vallejo native who raps under the stage name Lul Dada."
"Court records say Fairfield police quickly identified Evans as a suspect in Williams' death, thanks in part to video surveillance that allegedly captured Evans killing the teen outside of a smoke shop on the 1300 block of West Texas Street. Catching Evans has been another matter. Despite having an active murder warrant for six months, he remains a free man, and continues to put out music with references to shootings and gang rivalry."
Guardian Harper and Tamarcus Williams were student athletes from the Bay Area and members of the class of 2024 who were killed in apparent targeted shootings about seven weeks apart. Harper, 18, was shot at a Bay Point house party by intruders who allegedly bragged online. Williams, 19, was shot through a car window outside a Fairfield smoke shop. Prosecutors charged 20-year-old Adonnis Evans with Williams' murder on Aug. 22 based in part on video surveillance. Evans remains free despite an active warrant and continues releasing music referencing shootings; police suspect him in Harper's death based on cellphone, vehicle and recorded-call evidence.
