Reports Say Williams Fired Gun

Authorities have no immediate plans to arrest anyone in the fatal shooting of a man at former basketball star Jayson William’s estate but might file charges in the future, a prosecutor said Saturday.

Authorities were called to Williams’ 65-acre estate early Thursday and found Costas Christofi, 55, a limousine driver hired by Williams, in a bedroom with a shotgun wound to his chest.

Acting Hunterdon County Prosecutor Steven C. Lember would not say who prosecutors believe was the shooter. He has said Williams, his brother Vincent and about 10 guests were in the house at the time.

“The fair thing to say is we have a pretty good idea of who [the shooter] was and we’re trying to determine how that happened,” Lember said.

The Star-Ledger of Newark, the Record of Hackensack and several broadcast stations said unidentified law enforcement sources told them Williams accidentally fired the gun.

Williams’ agent, Sal DiFazio, said he had spoken with the former New Jersey Nets’ player since the shooting. DiFazio said he was aware of the Star-Ledger’s report and that it was “a very accurate portrayal of where everything is, as far as I know.”
