Harris wouldn't say if the person of interest was from Mount Vernon or outside of the city, citing an ongoing investigation, but said police have used video surveillance from homes and businesses to track the person of interest down and make their case. 

Mount Vernon Mayor Rich Thomas said he went to school with Williams and used to play basketball with him. 

"I don't know why fate found him," Thomas said. "It's wrong, and it's a damn shame." 

Williams, 37, was shot to death on Union Avenue Monday afternoon, city spokesman Maria Donovan said. Mount Vernon police haven't released any other details about the incident.
