Jeremy Johnson, 37, was shot dead in the face at about 3 a.m. on July 20, 2022, inside the Houston apartment he shared with his girlfriend, the mother of his children.

After the shooting Williams allegedly kidnapped his ex-girlfriend, forced her to drive him to another location, and handed the murder weapon to an unidentified woman with instructions to dispose of it. The pair returned to the apartment, where Williams attempted to bag bloodied linens and poured gasoline on them; he later fled when others refused to help. The ex-girlfriend escaped, reached a cousin’s house, and contacted police. Williams was arrested and charged with capital murder and aggravated kidnapping, and a judge denied bond.

Investigators say Williams and the woman had two daughters who were not present during the incident, and the apparent motive was Williams’ anger over her new relationship with Jeremy. Anyone who knew Jeremy or has information about the case is asked to come forward.
