Nicholas Martin Williams, 32, was found dead and burning in a wooded area near Old Gordon Road in Atlanta on December 13, 2022. The Fulton County Medical Examiner determined he had been fatally shot before his body was set on fire, and the death was ruled a homicide.

Williams had been reported missing by his family in Cobb County on December 12, 2022. His vehicle was located near an LA Fitness at Atlantic Station while he was still missing. A native of Niles, Michigan, he moved to Atlanta in 2009 to pursue music, attended American Intercontinental University, and worked as an aspiring recording artist and producer who had started his own record label.

Investigators tied the theft of Williams’s 2022 Dodge Ram TRX to 21-year-old Carl Jones, who was arrested in November 2023 and charged with murder, tampering with evidence, and theft by taking. Security footage reportedly showed Jones and two other men with Williams’s truck on the day of the killing, and one man carrying two gas cans; Jones was linked to an OTR street gang. Jones had earlier faced separate drug, gun, and gang-related charges and was released on bond before the murder charges were filed.

Does anyone have information about Williams’s movements or the truck in December 2022 that could help the investigation?
