The victim was attacked Wednesday night and was still in the hospital as of Friday. It's unclear if the victim was a customer or employee.
Police are trying to determine if Williams is connected to several other fires that occurred hours later near the Taco Bell, including a church that was completely destroyed. Tallahassee police Officer Damon Miller says authorities are still investigating the fires.
Court documents show Williams actually changed her name five years ago. They show the suspect, formerly known as Javoris Williams.
WTXL-TV in Tallahassee reported that Williams changed her name officially through Leon County courts in 2014. In 2017 and 2018, she was arrested three different times for drugs. Williams is now facing charges for attempted murder.
