Police found Williams’ body in a wooded area off Pat Mell Road on Thursday. Williams died sometime between 11 p.m. Wednesday and 1 a.m. Thursday, according to the warrant.
Sagastume Rivas is accused of putting Williams in a chokehold until she lost consciousness. The warrant alleges that he then put his full body weight on her neck, which killed her.
A magistrate court judge denied him bond.
We’re working to learn more about the suspect, for Channel 2 Action News at 4:00 p.m.
