LaGRANGE, Ga. (WRBL) – The Phenix City man who got into a Facebook exchange with Columbus police a couple of weeks ago appears to have bigger problems than burglary warrants that local authorities secured.
Tierre Tyrell Williams, 28, is wanted for murder and aggravated assault in LaGrange, according to police.
The warrant for Williams’ arrest was issued on Sunday.
He is accused of shooting to death Da-Jai Green, 22, of Manchester, Ga., The incident happened near Hoffman Drive at 11:49 p.m. Sunday.
Police say Williams was at a LaGrange gas station when he was robbed of a necklace by Deangelo Finley, 21, of Auburn. Finley was in a vehicle with his girlfriend, Da’Jai Green. She died on the scene from injuries suffered in the shooting.
Finley has been arrested and charged with robbery by snatch and is in the Troup County Jail.
Previously, Williams had been wanted for alleged burglary by the Columbus Police Department’s Property Crimes Unit. After posting his mugshot and charge details on Facebook, Williams responded with his phone number, leading to a social media frenzy. CPD later said they got in touch with him soon after the social media post.

Thoughts? Based on local news reports, Williams was still at large at least as of December 17th, 2019. This has become one of the more bizarre manhunts for a murder suspect in recent memory since in addition to Williams' already responding to the police on Facebook when he was "only" a burglary suspect (I say only in comparison to alleged murder), Williams is believed to have went on Facebook AGAIN this past Sunday to express his condolences to Da'Jai Turner's family, claiming he feels just as bad as them and is not the bad person they are making out to be.

What I find quite incredulous is Williams is asking Da'Jai Turner's family if there's anything he can do. I'm thinking "duh, turn yourself in, and explain your side to them in a court of law."
I don't know if Williams in my opinion having obviously way too much time on his hands will help or make more difficult the efforts to apprehend him, but hopefully it will be the former and not the latter.
