Police at 9:30 p.m. Wednesday went to the 1300 block of Southwest Bartell Avenue after reports of a stabbing. The address is east of Interstate 95 in the area of Southwest Rosser Boulevard and Southwest Paar Drive.

An initial investigation determined Williams was on a date with his 23-year-old former girlfriend. While on the date, they began to argue and the former girlfriend asked to go home. Williams dropped off the ex-girlfriend at her home and she went inside.

“A short time later Williams returned and drove his car into the front double doors of the home, ultimately breaking into the house,” police stated.
