Xaziver Deshun Williams (Irving City Jail)

Irving police have arrested a man in a deadly hit-and-run death last week on Loop 12.

Xaziver Deshun Williams, 22, faces murder charges and is being held in the Irving City Jail in lieu of $1 million bail. He was also wanted on warrants out of Grand Prairie, Grapevine and Bedford for offenses including drug possession and family violence.

Police believe he is responsible for the Oct. 2 death of 22-year-old April Vera, who was staying in a motel on Loop 12.

According to police, Williams visited Vera's room, stole a backpack and then tried to drive away. Vera jumped on top of the car, and Williams left the parking lot and drove north on Loop 12 with Vera still aboard.

She eventually fell into the roadway and was killed, police said.
