Billy Sorrells Explosively Claims Reggie Carroll Was Killed at Katt Williams’ Home — Calls Out Mo’Nique and Red Grant for Staying Silent
The comedy world is reeling after the tragic death of comedian Reginald “Reggie” Carroll, who was shot and killed in Southaven, Mississippi, on August 21. While many comedians and fans have been mourning quietly, fellow comic Billy Sorrells has decided to speak out — and his words are setting the internet on fire.
Billy Sorrells: “Reggie Died at Katt’s House”
During an Instagram Live session, Sorrells alleged that Reggie Carroll was shot and killed at a property tied to comedian Katt Williams. In a fiery rant, he accused major names in comedy — including Williams, Red Grant, and Mo’Nique — of staying silent about Reggie’s death when, in his view, they should be demanding answers.
“Katt Williams… Tell me why Reggie Carroll died out your house. Tell us what happened to Reggie Carroll,” Billy demanded during the livestream.
Sorrells insisted that silence from Williams, Grant, and Mo’Nique was unacceptable. He challenged their credibility as “truth tellers” if they refused to acknowledge what he believes happened.
Naming a Suspect
In the same livestream, Sorrells named Tranell Williams as the man arrested in connection with Reggie’s death. According to Billy, Tranell is a 6’8”, 225-pound man — and he alleged that Tranell could be related to Katt Williams.
“Tranell Williams. Got court on Wednesday… Y’all know what size Reggie was. Reggie was hit more than five times. Why y’all left Reggie out there on the curb by your crib?” he said.
Sorrells accused those at the scene of failing to help Reggie after he was shot, and of attempting to cover up the fact that the incident allegedly happened near Katt’s home.
Anger at Silence From the Comedy World
What seems to have sparked Billy’s anger even more than the shooting itself is what he views as a troubling silence from high-profile comedians.
“What we not going to do is act like Katt… you didn’t know who Reggie Carroll was. What we not going to do is act like Red Grant, you ain’t know who Reggie Carroll was. What we not going to do, Mo’Nique, is downplay who the f*** Reggie Carroll was,” he said.
Sorrells claimed that too many comics were quick to gossip about trivial scandals in the industry but were choosing to stay quiet about the violent death of a fellow performer.
No Confirmation of Alleged Family Ties
At this stage, law enforcement has not confirmed any connection between Katt Williams and the suspect, Tranell Williams. Police reports confirm an arrest has been made, but official details remain scarce. If a family tie does exist, it would complicate the situation and possibly explain why Katt has not made a public statement.
Reggie Carroll’s Legacy
Carroll’s death has left fans and peers devastated. Known for his quick wit and rising presence on the comedy circuit, Reggie was gaining traction in clubs and online spaces. Many have taken to social media to share memories and express their heartbreak.
For Billy Sorrells, however, grief has turned into a public crusade for transparency. He has repeatedly urged fans to tag blogs, media outlets, and news sources to make sure Reggie’s story isn’t swept under the rug.
What Happens Next?
With a suspect already facing court and Billy’s accusations spreading widely online, the pressure is mounting on Katt Williams and others in the comedy world to address the tragedy. Whether they will break their silence remains to be seen.
What is certain, though, is that Reggie Carroll’s death has become bigger than a local crime story. With accusations flying and unanswered questions hanging over one of comedy’s most enigmatic stars, this case is shaping up to be one of the industry’s most talked-about scandals in years.
