'I am seeing things’

The arrest report mentions that it all began on Friday, March 24, a day before the killing. A neighbor, who lives and owns the home on Magnolia Drive that Williams rented, said she called him at 3 am and requested him to come over to her unit. She then told the owner that she was ‘seeing things’ and that she was having a panic attack. After the owner went to her place, he found her standing upright and trembling, "They're trying to kill me. I don't know why those people are trying to kill me," she said. She was assured by the neighbor that everything was okay and went back. Williams lives with her 8-year-old son in one room rented apartment and was described as a ‘nice person.’

'Williams is held in Palm Beach County jail'

As per records, on Saturday, March 25, the sheriff's office reached William's house after a known person asked the police to check on her since she was ‘acting different’ the day before. She refused to answer the door and the next day police took her in custody from a canal. Williams is currently kept in Palm Beach County jail while the investigation continues.
