Williams’ death is the second homicide in Anne Arundel County this year.

On March 4, Tyrese Malik Williams, 20, was shot by several people when leaving his home in Brooklyn Park, county police said. Struck in the back, Williams was taken to R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore in critical condition but died from his injuries hours later.

Later that night, with the assistance of a Baltimore Police helicopter unit, Anne

Arundel police detained five suspects in Baltimore’s Edgecomb neighborho­od, leading to two arrests in the murder.

Baltimore teenagers Dabron Tyreek Johnson, 17, and Decouisey Orlando Wilson, 18, were arrested and charged with Williams’ murder.

As a teenager, Johnson’s court records are not available for review.

Wilson is scheduled for a preliminar­y hearing Wednesday in Annapolis District Court.

By the end of March last year, five people had been killed in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County. Five people were killed in the same period a year earlier.
