A former death row inmate has been shot dead less than two years after his release.
Christopher Williams, 62, was fatally shot in the head around 2.20pm on 16 December at Mount Peace Cemetery in North Philadelphia, NBC reported.
Williams had been attending a funeral at the time of the attack. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was later declared dead.
No suspects have been arrested.
Williams was exonerated and acquitted of several murder charges and released in 2020 after spending 29 years in prison – 25 of those years on death row.
The 1989 separate murder cases were tossed out decades later after an integrity unit found that Williams’ conviction was largely based on lying informants and misconduct by the prosecution.
