Suspect Facing Capital Murder Charge
San Antonio, TX - Joshua Eric Williams, 21, was arrested
tonight by members of the United States Marshals Service Lone Star Fugitive
Task Force (LSFTF) in San Antonio, TX. An arrest warrant was issued pursuant to
an investigation by the Converse Police Department (CPD), where it is alleged
that Williams committed Capital Murder.
On December 23, 2015, members of the LSFTF initiated an
investigation in locating and apprehending Williams. Tonight, through
investigative efforts and extensive surveillance, task force officers located
Williams hiding out in an apartment complex located in the 2500 block of
Babcock Road, on the northwest side of San Antonio. Task force officers
observed Williams walking through the parking lot of the apartment complex,
identified themselves, made contact, and took him into custody without
incident.
On December 1, 2015, Williams allegedly shot and killed a
man in the parking lot of an apartment complex located in the 300 block of
Converse Center Street, in Converse, TX. Reports stated that Williams and the
victim were allegedly involved in a drug deal gone bad that resulted in
Williams shooting, killing, and robbing the victim. Williams fled the scene in
a getaway vehicle and subsequently struck another vehicle as he exited the
apartment complex. After a thorough investigation by CPD Homicide detectives, a
warrant was issued for Williams’ arrest. Williams remained a fugitive on the
run until he was arrested tonight.
Williams is currently being held in custody at the Bexar
County Sheriff’s Office.
Robert R. Almonte, United States Marshal for the Western
District of Texas, stated, “Williams was on the run for quite some time, but
our task force officers didn’t give up on the hunt, nor did they let him catch
his breath. It was only a matter of time before our task force officers locked
in on his location and affected the arrest.”
