Williams, who was out on bond in connection to another fatal shooting, surrendered to Nashville police on Sept. 8 and he was placed under arrest on a charge of first-degree murder, the Tennessean reported.

According to authorities, at the time of the Nashville shooting, Williams was wanted for allegedly shooting and killing 25-year-old Jermaine Hunter outside the victim’s home in Hattiesburg, on June 29, 2020. Williams surrendered to Mississippi law enforcement that October.

Williams also faces a first-degree murder charge in that case. He is currently being held without bond at the Davidson County Jail in Tennessee.
