Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr., today announced the indictment of TILIEK THOMPSON, 41, for murdering his girlfriend, 27-year-old Lovay Williams in September 2026. THOMPSON is charged in a New York State Supreme Court indictment with Murder in the Second Degree among other charges.[1]
“This brutal alleged act of domestic violence devastated Lovay Williams’ family members and forever changed the life of her 7-year-old daughter,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Ms. Williams’ death is an utterly tragic reminder of the work we still need to do to combat intimate-partner and domestic violence. I want to assure survivors and their loved ones that we are deeply committed to addressing these crimes, and that we have the resources to help you. If you or someone you know is a survivor, please call our Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Bureau at 212-335-4308.”

On or about September 6, 2026, we allege that THOMPSON beat Ms. Williams, striking her in the face and body, and then strangled her to death. He then left her inside the apartment with her 7-year-old daughter, who was just feet away from her mother’s body when police performed a wellness check.
