Soldier out shopping murdered in Baltimore

BALTIMORE — An Army private on leave from service in Afghanistan was fatally shot while on the way home from grocery shopping with his wife, Baltimore police said Monday.

Detectives had no suspects or motive in the slaying of Pfc. Clifford J. Williams, a Baltimore native, said Anthony Guglielmi, a police spokesman.

Williams, 22, enlisted in the Army in February 2008 and was deployed in April to Afghanistan, where he performed maintenance on planes, said Lt. Col. Nathan M. Banks, an Army spokesman.

He took 15 days of leave to go home for the holidays, Banks said.

"It's a very, very sad case," Banks said. "We always expect to be killed over there. When we come home to American soil, this is rare."
