Terrence Dale Williams Jr. Kills Himself to Avoid Prison
Terrence Dale Williams was about to be picked up by police in connection with a string of armed robberies of pizza delivery workers. Like an old school gangster he was never taken alive:
GREER, S.C. — Police say a man accused of holding up three pizza delivery drivers in South Carolina shot and killed himself as sheriff’s deputies surrounded him.
Multiple media outlets reported that 27-year-old Terrence Dale Williams Jr. of Greer shot himself in the chest Thursday night as Greenville County sheriff’s deputies closed in on his car.
Deputy Matthew Armstrong says it appeared Williams was about to get out when he shot himself before officers could intervene.
Armstrong says deputies did not fire at Williams and he didn’t shoot at them.
Sheriff Steve Loftis has asked the State Law Enforcement Division to investigate.
Williams was named in warrants in armed robberies of three pizza deliverers since Jan. 18.
Deputies got a tip he was in Taylors and went to arrest him when the shooting occurred.
Seems extreme but the way I read South Carolina law he was going to get a minimum of 10 years per robbery which is a long time since he just pulled a “string” of robberies. Am I mistaken on this? Maybe one of those anonymous lawyer friends of Bobby Caples can take time out of threatening people with frivolous lawsuits to let me know.
WYFF has details:
“Greenville County deputies received information that Williams was at a family member’s house on Lauren Wood Circle in the Taylors area,” said Matt Armstrong, public information officer of the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office.
He said deputies arrived at the scene at about 7:05 p.m. When they recognized the vehicle in the home’s driveway as the one for which they had been searching, they approached the car and ordered Williams to step out of the car.
“Investigators heard a fire arm discharged,” Armstrong said.
He said deputies did not fire any shots.
Armstrong said the sheriff has asked the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division to run a parallel investigation to make sure that there are no doubts about what happened to the alleged robber.
All the robbery incidents occurred within the last week and a half.
Pizza delivery workers all over the state just breathed a sigh of relief. It’s just too bad Williams didn’t think about how bad he didn’t want to go to jail prior to robbing innocent people.

Terrence is the father of my child. He never was a thug! He comes from a very very good family. He was not raised in the hood. Believe it or not his father was a preacher. People do make mistakes especially when they do have a mental condition that goes untreated. I mourn everyday nobodys opinion doesnt matter because they dont even know him to judge him. I will pray for you all that have hate in your heart.
So terrorizing innocent people at gunpoint is a mistake? I’ll make sure to realize that if some thug pulls a gun on me and threatens to kill me unless I give him my wallet.
What mental condition makes you pull a string of armed robberies anyway? And if he was mentally ill why didn’t you have him committed since you clearly knew he was dangerous?
Sounds to me like you’re another thug loving gutterslut who was happy to spend the money he stole from innocent people and now you want to pretend that what he (and you) were doing wasn’t wrong. Sorry kid, but we all have an absolute right to judge others by their behavior. Your sperm donor robbed people trying to support their families because he was to lazy to work and to stupid to stop getting high. That makes him trash and now that he’s dead I say good riddance to bad rubbish.
