A sixteen-year-old juvenile has been arrested and charged with murder. The suspect is a resident of Washington County and is currently in the custody of the juvenile justice system.

They were then taken to the Emergency Room at Baylor Scott and White, where Williams later died.

The other victim was treated and released from the hospital.
