A source told Jones that Williams decided to turn himself in because of intense pressure from a fugitive squad looking for him.

Patterson said the allegations are taking a toll on his client.

"He's devastated," Patterson said about Williams. "He's absolutely devastated. He's a family man."

Williams faces murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm during a felony charges. He's expected to face a judge Thursday.
