Overview

• A Harford County grand jury indicted Gary Williams in the killing of David Arnold Byrd Jr., and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
• Byrd was found with a single upper-body stab wound on Aug. 26, 2007 in the 1900 block of Edgewater Drive in Edgewood and later died at a hospital.
• Williams had been identified as a person of interest in 2007, but detectives said they lacked sufficient evidence until the new witness came forward.
• Williams is serving an unrelated federal sentence and is expected to be released in April 2032, after which Harford County will assume custody.
• The sheriff’s office did not release the specific charges or indictment date and notes roughly 20 open cold cases remain under investigation.
