Judge Perry H. Gravely of the 13th Judicial Circuit Court also denied Williams bond. He will continue to be held at the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice Detention Center in Columbia.

When first arrested, Williams was charged with murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, possession of a firearm by someone who is under 18 years old, and possession of a weapon on a school campus. The possession charges were not waived over to the adult court.
