Andrew Williams (pictured), now 26, was arrested in May for the alleged shooting of a liquor store clerk in Florida in 2016
Andrew Williams’ last words to the to the liquor store clerk who he shot was ‘Remember my face,’ and the Florida clerk did just that, picking him up out of a line-up two years later.
Williams, 26, was arrested Friday, and is facing charges of attempted first-degree murder, armed burglary and aggravated assault, after shooting a clerk in August of 2016 at Airline Liquors near West Palm Beach.
The law finally caught up with Williams after the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office received a call to their Crime Stoppers line with information about the shooting, according to ABC 10.
Williams had entered Airline Liquors in 2016, and appeared intoxicated, according to the victim who has not been identified.
He asked the clerk for a bottle of Hennessey cognac, and when the clerk asked him for identification, Williams became beligerent and started cursing- so the clerk asked him to leave the store.

According to the police, his parting words to the clerk were ‘Remember my face you punk ass b****.’
Williams allegedly returned to the store, wearing sunglasses and a Jamaican-style knitted cap, pulled out a gun and shot the clerk in the arm and shoulder.
Police were unable to identify Williams from the surveillance video at the store, and were unable to obtain details of his identity until they received the call to Crime Stoppers on May 29.
Williams lived in the area at the time the crime was comitted, and was issued a drivers license on the day of the shooting.
He had the same gray shirt on in his photo ID as the shooter did.
And of course, the victim remembered Williams’ face, just like he had told the clerk to. He was able to pick Williams out of a photo line-up.
