18-year-old Keshawn Williams faces Armed Robbery charges for a botched Facebook Marketplace deal gone horribly wrong earlier this year, resulting in a fatality. Williams will remain confined to Peoria County Jail until his trial. On January 15th, a vehicle sale turned tragic when buyers were lured into a south-end alley and met with gunfire during an attempted robbery. One buyer, acting in self-defense, returned fire, resulting in a fatality among the assailants. Two other individuals, Sontarrius Williams and Jalyn Branscumb, were previously charged in this case. Anyone with information should reach out to the Peoria Police Department.
