By rssfeeds-admin Richard Williams faces charges of murder, robbery, aggravated battery and criminal recklessness. He was 15 at the time of the shootings.
The first incident was on April 9 last year, in the 300 block of North Temple Avenue. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department found a man, later identified as 24-year-old Wilson Astreide, lying in the middle of the street with gunshot wounds, including one to the neck.
Astreide told police he was there to give a girl a ride when two people approached the vehicle and took his keys. When Astreide went after them, he was shot, with the two then getting in his car and taking off.
A week later, IMPD officers were called to a Phillips 66 gas station at 25th and Sherman for a report of shots fired. Police located the suspect, identified as Williams.
In both shootings, surveillance footage showed Williams wearing a camouflage head cover.
Several months after the first shooting, Astreide died in a Richmond hospital. A coroner ruled his death a homicide, with the cause being complications from being shot.
According to court documents, Williams was a member of the gang Project Babies Thuggin (PBT) and had the nickname ‘Hell Head.’ He has an initial court appearance scheduled for Tuesday morning.
