Wanted suspect in a toddler's fatal beating apprehended after a five-year period, wearing a wig and disguise
Man Accused of 2020 Toddler Murder in Ohio Arrested in Massachusetts
A five-year investigation has reached a significant milestone with the arrest of Dioblis Williams, a 25-year-old man wanted for the alleged 2020 beating death of a toddler in Ohio. The arrest took place in Massachusetts on Wednesday.
The arrest marks a step towards Williams facing a judge or jury, as he is now in police custody. The news has brought relief to the victim's family, according to Riley, a family spokesperson.
The observant eye of an alert police officer played a crucial role in the arrest. Williams and his companions were noticed as they did not fit the local area. Another officer attempted to stop Williams, but he fled, stumbled, dropped the wig he was wearing as a disguise, and then surrendered.
Investigators found that Williams' Instagram usage linked him to a Framingham-area address, which led to the focus being brought to Massachusetts. During the arrest, Williams was wearing a disguise, which included a wig. He is accused of using the wig to hide his identity.
Williams is wanted for the alleged 2020 murder of his girlfriend's 2-year-old son. The child's family has been waiting years for justice. The victim's great-grandmother, Bernice Anderson Pearson, remembered him as a jolly and happy baby with an infectious smile.
It's unclear what brought Williams to Massachusetts, but the arrest marks the final sprint in a long-drawn investigation since the disturbing murder. A warrant for Williams' arrest had been issued, and his arrest in Massachusetts brings the investigation one step closer to closure.
The identity of the victim in the Columbus, Ohio, case remains undisclosed. The family and friends of the young boy continue to mourn his loss, and the arrest of Williams brings them a step closer to finding justice for their beloved one.
