Neither department provided any further information regarding Sanders’s relationship with Williams or how they are related. But according to ABC13, Williams’ pals knew each other.
After learning that Sanders fled to greater New Orleans and stayed at multiple locations, investigators identified him as the culprit, according to the police.
Thursday, Eyewitness News met with friends of the victim, Williams, who was perplexed as to why their loved one had become a victim of violence.
“She created and made a safe space for everybody, so to think that someone would want to hurt her and have a justified reason is something I cannot fathom,” Williams’ friend Hope Giselle said.
