Williams was reported missing on Jan. 4, when she was last seen getting into a light-colored, four-door sedan just before 10 p.m. in the area of Berkshire Road, according to the Fayetteville Police Department (FPD).

The FPD Homicide Unit, with assistance from the department’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Team, arrested and charged Tyrell Jaquez Siermons, 30, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, with first-degree murder in connection with Williams’ death.

Authorities located the 25-year-old woman dead in “a wooded area near Newark Ave. and State Ave.” on Jan. 10, six days after she was reported missing.
