Police told News4Jax that Williams has been spotted around a Jacksonville neighborhood, and that's why they have released information again, asking for anyone who knows where he is to call police.

Williams is being sought in connection with a shooting reported July 23 on Blanding Boulevard that left one man dead and another wounded, police said.

Detectives said Christopher Thurston, 20, and another man were arguing about 8 p.m. July 23 near a Mobil gas station at Duclay Road and Blanding Boulevard when the second man pulled a gun and fired a shot at Thurston. Homicide detectives said a third man might have been hit by a stray bullet. Thurston died at Orange Park Medical Center.

Williams has an active warrant for murder, aggravated battery and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
