Thus far, I’ve only found this one picture of Mama Carlene Williams.
She & Papa Marc Adams were murdered in such a horrendous way by their son, who had so many violent priors, violations of probation, & domestic assaults that he should’ve been locked up a decade ago.

Interview & security footage from the #Watertown,CT homeowner whose garage Javian Adams broke into during the early morning hours after shooting both his parents dead, execution style, in their #Waterbury,CT home.

The way #DomesticViolence is handled is a crime.
