He was indicted on a first-degree murder charge. When he was arrested Wednesday, Williams was free on bond for a Mississippi murder.

On Aug. 15, 2020, Metro Police officers found Walker suffering from gunshot wounds. He was transported to a local hospital but died shortly after arriving.

A witness reportedly heard the shots reported seeing a person run from the scene toward W. Trinity Lane. Metro Police say Williams was identified as the suspect.

He's being held without bond and will be arraigned in Criminal Court in the near future.
