Williams is suspected of shooting 20-year-old Christopher Thurston during a July 23 encounter at a gas station near Blanding Boulevard and Duclay Road, police previously said.

Thurston was taken to Orange Park Medical Center, but did not survive.
Williams faces charges of murder, aggravated battery and possession of a firearm by a felon.
