A now 54-year-old man serving a sentence of life in prison without parole, who as a teenager killed a Pittsburgh man in 1984 in Cranberry Township, will be resentenced in October under a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that juveniles can't be sentenced to life without parole.

Raymond Williams, an inmate at SCI Somerset, will be resentenced by county Common Pleas Judge William Robinson Oct. 18.

Robinson scheduled the resentencing hearing Thursday during a hearing that Williams attended virtually from the state prison in Somerset County. A 2012 decision by the Supreme Court ruled that mandatory sentences of life without parole for juveniles were unconstitutional.

Williams, then a 17-year-old former Pittsburgh resident, and his brother, Ronald Williams, who was 32 years old at the time of the homicide, were found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to death by a county jury in 1985. Sentences for both defendants later were reduced to life in prison without parole.

The defendants were convicted in the shooting death of Archie S. Bradley, 38, in the parking lot of Nor-Sub Trucking on Route 19, where he worked as a truck driver. Raymond Williams was identified as the gunman and Ronald Williams as the getaway driver.

According to a criminal complaint and affidavit filed by township police, a silver Oldsmobile parked on the southbound berm of Route 19 at the entrance to Nor-Sub just before 10:30 p.m. Aug. 4, 1984, pulled out onto the road with its headlights turned off in front of an officer who was driving down the road.

The officer tried to pull the vehicle over, but it fled west on Freedom Road, police said. At the intersection of Commonwealth Drive, the police car was struck by an object thrown from the Oldsmobile. The vehicle later was later found to be registered to Ronald Williams. The pursuit continued into Beaver County, where the car was found abandoned over an embankment.

Two minutes later, police received a report of a shooting that had just occurred at Nor-Sub, and a Black male, later identified at Bradley, was found lying in the parking lot.

Police returned to Freedom Road and found a Mac-10 .45-caliber automatic submachine gun, a noise suppressor and a magazine for the gun. Later, police learned the gun was reported stolen from Pontiac, Mich.

Another truck driver who was inside a truck in the Nor-Sub parking lot told police of hearing gunshots. He told police he saw a clean-shaven tall Black male with short hair standing over the victim holding a black gun with a long magazine. He was wearing a grey-blue shirt and dark pants. The man then ran through the parking lot, and the truck driver lost sight of him.

Officers recovered 11 casings from .45-caliber bullets at the scene.

Bradley was flown to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh and pronounced dead on arrival.

At 5:20 a.m. the next day, a Tri-Area Police Department officer contacted township police reporting that a woman asked him for directions to Ambridge in Beaver County because Ronald Williams called her saying his car broke down and he wanted her to pick him up at Hills Tavern on Duss Avenue in Ambridge.

Around the same time, a Harmony Township (Beaver County) police officer contacted township police reporting that he saw two Black males in the area of Duss Avenue and one fit the description of the shooting suspect.

The Harmony Township officer took Ronald Williams into custody. The other man, later identified at Raymond Williams, fled, but was apprehended at 6:10 a.m.

Attorney Richard Graham, of the Reed Smith law firm of Pittsburgh, is representing Raymond Williams. He said Reed Smith and other firms volunteered to represent juvenile defendants sentenced to life without parole following the 2012 Supreme Court ruling.
