The investigations were started by the Bunnell Police Department but were later turned over to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Major Case Unit.
“This dirtbag will spend a long time in prison for his crimes,” said Sheriff Rick Staly.
Judge Terence Perkins of the Seventh Judicial Circuit sentenced Williams to 55 years on each of the two counts of murder and 30 years for attempted murder, which will run at the same time.
“I had promised the families of Noah and Keymarion that we would hold the killers accountable. While I know this can’t bring back their loved ones, I hope knowing the killers are receiving long prison sentences brings them a feeling of justice,” said Sheriff Rick Staly.
Terrell Sampson, Tyrese Patterson, and Stephen Monroe were also arrested for their involvement with the two murders.
