Relatives of Avery Williams want justice in 2021 shooting outside bowling alley | Media Pyro

Kansas City, Mo. (KCTV) – A date night that ended in a triple shooting remains unsolved more than a year after shots were fired outside a Kansas City bowling alley.

On October 3, 2021, someone shot Avery Williams, his girlfriend, and another friend outside the Ward Parkway Lanes. Williams did not survive the injury. Two other people who were shot escaped with injuries.

An investigation into the murder is underway.

Aubrey Williams said her son Avery had good grades, liked being the class clown and wanted to make people laugh on Tik Tok.

“Avery, he’s a character,” Williams said. “A ball of joy.”

Avery played video games and participated in sports.

Williams said before the tragic night last October, she never thought her son was in danger. He recalled that he and his family were safe in the suburbs of Kansas City.

“He was having a date night with his girlfriend,” Williams said. “He thought he would go bowling and come home. It never happened. He didn’t come home.

When she realized someone had shot her son, Williams ran to the hospital. He held on to hope, but Avari did not survive.

“It’s like a constant heart attack,” relayed Williams.

While grieving Avery’s loss, the family also feels the pain of waiting for an arrest and charges to be filed. When it all became too much, they decided to lean on their faith.

“We can’t let this affect our peace because it’s driving us crazy with all the heartache,” Williams said. “For all the unanswered questions, it drove us crazy. At the end of the day, we know this – they must see God. Judgment comes from God.”

Avery’s father said he hopes changes can be made in Kansas City to reduce the number of homicides that occur each year.

“As a city and as a community we need to get better,” Williams said. “We will always say Avery’s name. We are always going to love him. Always miss him. He will be a part of our lives whether in physical form or not. We will love him dearly. “
