Authorities in North Carolina have arrested Tyrell Jaquez Siermons, 30, on charges of first-degree murder in connection with the death of 25-year-old Heather Williams. Williams was reported missing on January 4th and her body was found in a wooded area six days later.
North Carolina authorities apprehended a man on Thursday in relation to the disappearance and murder of 25-year-old Fayetteville resident Heather Williams. Williams was reported missing on January 4th, last seen entering a light-colored, four-door sedan around 9:50 pm in the Berkshire Road area, according to the Fayetteville Police Department (FPD).
The FPD Homicide Unit, collaborating with the department's Violent Criminal Apprehension Team, arrested and charged Tyrell Jaquez Siermons, 30, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, with first-degree murder in connection with Williams' death. Authorities discovered Williams' body in a wooded area near Newark Ave. and State Ave. on January 10th, six days after her disappearance. The suspect, according to court records, possesses a substantial criminal history in Cumberland County. Additionally, he faces an out-of-state probation violation charge from January 16th, the same day he was charged with first-degree murder. This indicates that Siermons was on probation in North Carolina when he was accused of a crime in another state. His previous offenses, dating back to 2011, include charges of attempted first-degree murder, attempted kidnapping, robbery with a dangerous weapon, felony possession of a firearm, habitual felon status, common law robbery, robbery with a dangerous weapon, felony probation violation, breaking or entering, and larceny. The FPD declined to comment on any potential relationship between the suspect and the victim but stated that the vehicle Williams was last seen entering on January 4th proved instrumental in leading them to Siermons. Police revealed that Williams had a cognitive impairment, a consequence of being struck by a car in 2015, as reported by local outlet WRAL. Heather's sister, Mary Williams, informed WRAL that she contacted an individual listed on Heather's phone log around the time she left home on January 4th. She inquired about the type of car the man drove and whether he had picked up Heather that evening. Mary stated that he claimed to have met her on Facebook, either through Facebook Dating or Messenger, uncertain which. He admitted to spending time with her once but couldn't recall if it was on a Saturday night. Mary followed up with the man later, who confirmed that the car that had picked up Heather was indeed the one he drove. She believes Siermons is the same man she contacted using Heather's phone, according to WRAL.Siermons is currently detained at the Cumberland County Detention Center without bond. Fayetteville police encourage anyone with pertinent information to contact Detective E. Alrafai at (910) 723-0327 or Crimestoppers at (910) 483-TIPS (8477)
