A 24-year-old Mal­ick man was shot and killed af­ter he told rel­a­tives that he was go­ing to meet a friend near­by on Sun­day af­ter­noon.

Po­lice said Kelum Williams was at his Up­per Sixth Av­enue, Mal­ick, home at around 1 pm when he asked a rel­a­tive to take out food for him.

He told the rel­a­tive he was go­ing to meet a friend near­by and would be back short­ly.

At around 1.30 pm of­fi­cers of the North East­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force were on pa­trol when they re­ceived a re­port of gun­shots on Up­per Sixth Av­enue, near Val­ley Dri­ve.

Po­lice went to the scene and found Williams bleed­ing on the road.

They took him to hos­pi­tal where he was de­clared dead at around 1.45 pm.

Mor­vant po­lice and homi­cide in­ves­ti­ga­tors vis­it­ed the scene and found 11 spent 9 mm shells.
