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.

Siermons is currently being held at the Cumberland County Detention Center without bond.
