Williams called police in Oct. 2017 and claimed she came home to find her two sons, 1-year-old Ja’Karter Penn and 2-year-old Ke’Yaunte Penn, dead. She blamed their deaths on a relative who was caring for them, but police said that was a lie.
Investigators said Williams placed the two toddlers in an oven. Autopsy reports showed both boys had been burned.

Williams’ sister told Channel 2 Action News that she had a history of mental illness and her nephews’ deaths could have been prevented if the state intervened.
Williams was sentenced to life without parole plus 35 years.
