On the afternoon of August 17, 2017, Springdale police found 24-year-old Xavier Williams dead inside an apartment in the 200 block of Strawberry Meadows. He was discovered alone with apparent gunshot wounds, and investigators treated the case as a homicide.

Within days two suspects were arrested: 18-year-old Anferney Amram and 19-year-old Albert Davis. Amram faced capital murder, tampering with evidence, residential burglary, discharging a firearm within city limits, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Davis was charged with residential burglary, tampering with evidence, and hindering apprehension. Police say Amram gave a statement admitting he shot Williams multiple times with a 9mm handgun and that the weapon was later disassembled and parts discarded from a vehicle while driving through Bentonville. Authorities stated more arrests were possible as the probe continued.
