- During an initial hearing on Oct. 25, a court commissioner set Williams’ cash bond at $1 million.
- Williams, 26, is charged with three counts of first-degree intentional homicide and could face life in prison if convicted.
- Marcus C. Smith, 64, and Sandy N. Lee, 50, were killed near 27th Street and Atkinson Avenue around 9:20–9:30 p.m., and Lakendrick Roby, 44, was shot about an hour later near 31st Street.
- Investigators cite surveillance videos, multiple witness identifications, a ballistic match linking shell casings to the same firearm, and multicolored Puma shoes that tested positive for apparent blood.
