After being transported to King’s Daughters Medical Center, Williams later was pronounced dead at 9:19 p.m. by Lincoln County Coroner Clay McMorris.

Deputy Coroner Ricky Alford, who examined the body, said it was then transported to the Mississippi crime lab for an autopsy.

An altercation between the two men that began earlier in the day, and extended into the evening was what led Bolds to shoot and kill Williams, said Bell.

While Bolds did not confess to the murder, the BPD charged him with Williams’ death Monday morning.

“We had sufficient enough evidence to charge Mr. Bolds with the crime,” said Bell, adding that there were witnesses to the murder.

Brookhaven police received the call at 8:07 p.m., and the first unit arrived at 8:08.
