A man accused of fatally shooting Temple University student Sam Collington near campus in 2021 was convicted Tuesday.
Latif Williams, who was 17 at the time of the killing, was found guilty by Philadelphia Judge Scott O’Keefe of third-degree murder and weapons charges.Williams was accused of shooting Collington, 21, multiple times on the 2200 block of North Park Avenue in November 2021.Williams turned himself in after video surveillance from the night of the murder linked him to the killing.
I was just upset about the victim blaming. I know the victim in this case was a Temple student going back to school after Thanksgiving and that’s what happened to him. You know it’s a sad day, it’s not a good day, a juvenile is convicted of murder and Sam Collington’s parents still don’t have justice."Williams’ lawyers argued there was not enough evidence and too much speculation for a first or second-degree murder conviction.
