Williams-Thomas, 17, was behind the wheel of a vehicle in the subsidized apartment complex when she was struck by a bullet police believe was intended for a 14-year-old passenger. Three teenagers, including two who were underage at the time of the shooting, were charged with her death.
Just over 16 months later, on April 15, 2021, Castonguay was found dead in his apartment at 41 Village Road. Authorities charged his son, 22-year-old Alex Cote, with shooting and killing his father.
In between the two deaths, four other individuals fell victim to apparent homicide in the city. They include Tanya Gagnon, who was killed by her boyfriend in a murder-suicide last June; Derek Desjardin, who police believe was shot by his roommate; Erika Belcourt, who was run over outside her apartment, allegedly by a man with whom she’d had a romantic relationship; and Percy Standifer Jr., who was found dying of a gunshot wound near Logee Street.
