Vanity Williams dies in fatal Houston shooting
Fatal Houston shooting death of Vanity Williams – Obituary
A 26-year-old man has been arrested by a SWAT team after allegedly shooting and killing Vanity Williams, an Air Force veteran, in the lobby of her apartment building in downtown Houston.
Tristian Sanders has been charged with murder in connection with the death of 34-year-old Williams, which occurred last Friday at 1711 Caroline Street. Sanders was apprehended in Luling, Louisiana, and is currently held at the St. Charles Parish Jail, awaiting extradition.
The arrest was made with the assistance of Louisiana state police, just after noon on Friday. Sanders was taken into custody without incident. However, authorities have not disclosed the nature of the relationship between Sanders and Williams. Friends of Williams mentioned to ABC13 that the two were acquainted.
Houston Police Department investigators tracked Sanders to the greater New Orleans area, where he had been moving between various locations.
Friends of Williams, devastated by the news, spoke to Eyewitness News, expressing their disbelief that someone would target her. “She created and made a safe space for everybody, so to think that someone would want to hurt her and have a justified reason is something I cannot fathom,” said Hope Giselle, a close friend of Williams.
