On July 24, 2008, Derrick Witherspoon, 37, his wife Elizabeth Witherspoon, 34, and her two sons, 13-year-old Jerome McFarland and 11-year-old Justin McFarland, were found shot to death inside their Birmingham home. The scene had been set on fire in an apparent attempt to conceal the crime, and the burned house contained the four victims.

Investigators arrested two men from nearby Bessemer: 18-year-old Shaunasty Lowe and 19-year-old Steven Jamal Williams, both held without bond on capital murder charges. At trial in 2010, Shaunasty Lowe was acquitted. After the acquittal, Lowe later pleaded guilty in 2014 to first-degree assault and second-degree robbery for a separate 2013 shooting incident.

Does anyone have additional information about the status of the case against Steven Jamal Williams or other leads in the Witherspoon family murders?
