Description:

Warren, Ohio criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with aggravated murder.

{¶2} In April 2023, the murder victim, J.C., and his girlfriend, M.M., the attempted-murder victim, lived together with J.C.'s dogs at 690 Lerner, Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio. At the time of the incidents, J.C. and Williams, whose nickname is "Rudy," were friends and had known each other for many years. Indeed, Williams referred to J.C. as "Big bro." Williams had been to J.C.'s residence on many occasions and was well acquainted with M.M. as well.

{¶3} On April 1, 2023, J.C. invited his mother, Lasonya Lynk ("Ms. Lynk"), and his two sisters to stay at his home because his family had lost power at their residence in Liberty, Ohio, due to a storm. J.C. took his family to dinner and then drove his mother and sisters back to his house. Ms. Lynk and her daughters watched television and eventually fell asleep on J.C.'s couch.

{¶4} Earlier on the day of April 1, M.M. attended a party where Williams was present. Later that evening, M.M. went to a local bar. J.C, after taking his family to dinner, met M.M. at the bar. The couple later went to a different bar after which they left in separate vehicles. J.C. returned to the residence, and M.M. went to a local Sheetz store to get gas. At the gas station, M.M. saw Williams with his girlfriend, Amoria. While M.M. was waiting to pay for gas, she noticed that Williams was maced by Amoria. Police arrived to address the matter. Once police officers moved their cruisers, M.M. returned to the house on Lerner.

{¶5} At the Lerner residence, J.C. assisted his mother and youngest sister, a 16-year-old girl ("A.L."), into the guest bedroom. J.C.'s older sister, J.M., a 21-year-old woman, slept on the living room couch. Both J.C. and M.M. then went to bed.
