On Sat., Oct. 24, cops said they had collared Qadar Marshall, 15, who lives nearby on the East Side. He was charged with murder and criminal possession of a firearm.
Leading up to the arrest, police had released photo and video surveillance of the alleged suspects.
According to the Daily News, police sources said the murder may have been gang-related and that Williams belonged to a local subset called the YG Bloods.
The profile photo on Marshall’s Facebook page shows his hand flashing an apparent gang sign, while his Facebook cover photo shows his hand with a fanned-out stack of cash with a $100 bill on top.
