D'Zhuan Anthony Williams was booked into the Vermilion Parish Correctional Center on September 14, 2026, according to the Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Office booking record. The record lists the Abbeville Police Department as the arresting agency and dates the underlying charges to July 24, 2026.

Louisiana state records list Williams's date of birth as September 14, 2008, meaning he would have been 17 years old at the time of the alleged July 2026 conduct. One of the five charges below applies specifically to a person under 18 in possession of a handgun.

The booking record lists five distinct charges: second degree murder (La. R.S. 14:30.1, bond $350,000); aggravated criminal damage to property (La. R.S. 14:55, bond $15,000); illegal use of weapons or dangerous instrumentalities (La. R.S. 14:94, bond $50,000); illegal possession of a handgun by a juvenile (La. R.S. 14:95.8, bond $1,500); and a firearm-free-zone violation (La. R.S. 14:95.6, bond $10,000).

Under Louisiana law, second degree murder covers a killing committed with specific intent to kill or inflict great bodily harm, or a killing committed during certain other violent felonies even without that intent; it carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment at hard labor without parole, probation, or suspension of sentence upon conviction. Aggravated criminal damage to property covers intentionally damaging a structure, watercraft, or movable object under circumstances where it is foreseeable that human life could be endangered. Illegal use of weapons or dangerous instrumentalities covers intentionally or negligently discharging a firearm, or otherwise using an object, where death or great bodily harm is a foreseeable result. Illegal possession of a handgun by a juvenile prohibits a person under 18 from knowingly possessing a handgun, with limited exceptions such as written parental permission. The firearm-free-zone statute prohibits possessing a firearm within a designated zone, which includes school campuses and the area within 1,000 feet of one, subject to statutory exceptions.
