Williams’ family spoke exclusively to Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell and said that in the days before her death, Williams expressed concern about a man she said had been following her.
“She called the dude a weirdo and, from my understanding, he pretty much waited until he caught her by herself and did what he done,” her brother, Arsene Williams said.
Sagastume Rivas is accused of putting Williams in a chokehold until she lost consciousness. The arrest warrant, obtained by Channel 2 Action News, alleges that he then put his full body weight on her neck, which killed her.
