Emoni Milynn Martin was 19 when she was killed in her Fort Wayne apartment in the early morning of October 4, 2020.

At the Centennial Townhomes, Williams allegedly forced his way into her apartment. While friends were in another room, he confronted Emoni and a male companion, opened fire, and shot Emoni ten times, including after she had fallen. The male companion was also shot and injured. A friend hiding in a children’s bedroom later identified Williams as the shooter.

Ronald Williams III was arrested, tried, and found guilty of murder, battery by means of a deadly weapon, and a firearm enhancement; the jury heard testimony about the prior taking in Indianapolis and crime-scene evidence linking him to the killing. He received a total sentence of 91 years and had probation from a prior conviction revoked.
