28-year-old man gunned down at a Fairfield gas station earlier this month was apparently killed in a dispute over an engagement ring, and the brutal shooting was captured on store surveillance video.
Adarius Elon Williams, a father of four who celebrated a birthday the day before he was killed, died April 8 in the parking lot of the Citgo station on Milstead Road. Vincent Washington, 25, and Barbara Washington, 31, are charged with murder in Williams' death. Additionally, Vincent Washington is charged with first-degree kidnapping because the woman who drove him to the gas station said she wanted to leave, and he threatened her with her life.
The Washington siblings, who lost their own sister to murder last year, are set to be in court this afternoon for their preliminary hearings. AL.com has obtained the store surveillance video of the killing, which shows a man with a towel wrapped around his head – identified by police as Vincent Washington – shoot Williams multiple times, nine of those shots fired almost point-blank after while Williams had already collapsed on the ground. Police have said Williams was not armed.
According to police and court records, the brother and sister told a friend of Barbara Washington they would buy her gas if she drove them to the Citgo station that day. They were going to meet Williams because he wanted the engagement ring back that he had given to Barbara Washington. Williams' fiancé at the time of his death was also with him at the gas station the day he was killed.

Where are the "BLM" protesters?
The war on violence cannot be won. Just arm those who wish to defend themselves.
I am going to guess this thug has posed for other mugshots too.
Violence is part of the human condition.
It’s going to be here as long as we are here, just as it always has been.
At the County or City jail.
I am not sure.
Murder needs to be made illegal
what’s a war on violence?
Can you just put anything after “War on...”
Let’s all try.
“War on gum that loses its taste too quickly”
Racist!
Model citizens, to be sure...
/s (as if...)
The only thing ridiculous campaigns like a “war on violence” creates are more government agencies to “battle” the problem and more taxpayer dollars being skimmed and wasted.
Start by dropping the PC. It is blacks who are committing the violence. No other group in America is even close.
Anything that creates opportunities for more corruption and graft, while making unkeepable promises, is part of the New American Pie.

No doubts about that. They’re out of control. The race has issues no other races seem to have.
Yeah, I know there crime with illegals coming across the border but blacks have taken it to another level. They have no excuses. They’ve been educated in the same schools for a generation. They’re been given more than any race over the last 50 years and they’re not better off for it.
They're worse off.
They didn't used to be like this. If LBJ and the Soviets had left them alone, they'd be normal working class Americans.
There really needs to be a moratorium on the creation of new agencies at both the state and federal level. We have more agencies than we need as it is. If a problem comes along, assign it to an existing agency, don’t create a new one.
They’re worse off.

I agree. Blacks have been useful vehicles for elitist liberal democrats for decades. They’re certainly not better off for it.
Doesn’t ANYONE know how to write a news story anymore???
Sheesh!!!!
Sort of like the bipartisan agreement Congress had in the GHWB/Clinton presidencies. Any new program someone created had to include a new means of paying for it instead of the general funds. Nowadays, it’s just spend spend spend.
Reagan had said when he was in office that he planned to spend everything he could so that incoming Democrats would be too broke to bloat government further. Of course, they just spent it anyway and racked up more debt. But, there it is.
