(CNN)Michael K. Williams, an actor best known for his role as Omar Little on
HBO's "The Wire," has died. He was 54.

Williams was found dead in his New York City apartment Monday afternoon, a law
enforcement official told CNN.
Investigators found drug paraphernalia near his body, the official said. The
investigation is ongoing, according to another law enforcement source who spoke
to CNN.

"It is with deep sorrow that the family announces the passing of Emmy nominated
actor Michael Kenneth Williams. They ask for your privacy while grieving this
unsurmountable loss," his long-time rep Marianna Shafran of Shafran PR told The
Hollywood Reporter.


CNN has contacted representatives of Williams for comment.

In a 2017 interview with the New York Times, Williams spoke openly about his
struggles with substance abuse.
"Addiction doesn't go away," he said at the time. "It's an everyday struggle for
me, but I'm fighting."

Williams, a Brooklyn native, most recently appeared in HBO's "Lovecraft Country"
and the series "F Is for Family."
He became an almost iconic figure for many thanks to his role in "The Wire" as
Omar Little, a shotgun-wielding character who made his living robbing drug
dealers. He followed that up as a mobster in the HBO Prohibition-era mob drama
"Boardwalk Empire," and most recently earned an Emmy nomination for another
series on the pay network, the macabre "Lovecraft Country."
Williams was next slated to co-star in Sony's George Foreman biopic from George
Tillman Jr., who was set to direct.
Williams amassed a number of accolades during his storied career, including five
Emmy nominations. His first was in 2015 for his role in "Bessie" and another
followed two years later for his part in "The Night Of."
He was also the winner of a SAG Award for best ensemble with the cast of
"Boardwalk Empire."
On social media, Williams' many colleagues and friends recalled the depth,
complexity and humanity he brought to his characters on screen and, above all,
the man he was off screen.
"Michael K Williams was a beautiful, passionate, expansive soul. I felt so lucky
to have known him, and we were all so fortunate to have enjoyed his incredible
talent," Aisha Tyler wrote on Twitter. "He burned so very bright."
Director James Gunn added: "Michael K Williams, in addition to being one of the
most talented actors around, was also one of the kindest, sweetest, most gentle
souls I've ever met. This is heartbreaking. My thoughts are with all those who
loved him."
Musician Saul Williams wrote: "For years Wikipedia listed Michael K. Williams as
my brother. Neither one of us chose to correct it, instead we took it at its
word. 'We're brothers, yo.' He shared poems with me. We broke bread & kicked it
whenever we could. A deep & sincere connection. A beautiful spirit."

His "Wire" co-star Wendell Pierce also joined the chorus of remembrances with a
touching tribute.
"The depth of my love for this brother, can only be matched by the depth of my
pain learning of his loss," he wrote. "A immensely talented man with the ability
to give voice to the human condition portraying the lives of those whose
humanity is seldom elevated until he sings their truth."

CNN's Brian Lowry and Marianne Garvey contributed to this report.
