The investigation into the tragic death of beloved comedian Reggie Carroll has taken a dramatic turn with the arrest of 38-year-old Tranell Marquise Williams, who has been charged with murder, according to Fox13.
Now, growing speculation and public outrage are intensifying, as questions emerge about a possible link between the suspect and well-known comedian Katt Williams.
Carroll, known for his close work with Williams over the years, was allegedly found dead near a property tied to the Emmy-winning comedian, claims fellow comic Billy Sorrells.

While authorities have not confirmed a direct connection between Williams and the murder, Sorrells has publicly raised serious allegations, suggesting Williams may have knowledge of what happened — and who was involved.
In a heated video response, Sorrells voiced his suspicions and grief over Carroll’s death, directly addressing Katt Williams and calling on him to speak out.
“We not gonna act like, Katt … You ain’t know who Reggie Carroll was,” Sorrells said. “Katt Williams, you’re the truth teller! You the master of being able to tell everybody else this sh*t. You God of War, you ready for anything, right? You the guy! You said my team versus whoever else.

“Well… I know you love Reggie, we all did. Reggie was a solid ni**a, he didn’t pick sides. So, Katt Williams tell me why Reggie Carroll died outside your house? Tell us what happened to Reggie Carroll, Katt.”
Sorrells further insinuated a personal link between Williams and the alleged killer, implying deeper ties than have been made public.
“Why y’all left Reggie on the motherfu**ing curb by your crib, ni**a?” he said. “Tell us why. Tell us why Reggie Carroll died at your house, ni**a. … Why you quiet? We ain’t get a, ‘Hey man, RIP.’ You said it’s the year of truth, well tell the truth, ni**a.”
Sorrell would also post alleged paperwork on Instagram connecting the suspect, as well as Katt Williams’ manager, to the residence in question.
Sorrells’ mention of Williams as a “truth teller” references the comedian’s viral 2024 interview with Shannon Sharpe, where Williams famously exposed alleged wrongdoing by several prominent figures in entertainment, including Steve Harvey, Kevin Hart, and Cedric The Entertainer.
The interview earned Williams a reputation for pulling back the curtain on Hollywood’s inner circles. Carroll, known for his stand-up work and collaborations with Katt Williams, had toured and performed with him extensively over the years.
