Alabama Man Charged With Machine Gun Possession Was At Tuskegee Shooting, Complaint Says

A man charged Thursday in federal court with illegally possessing a machine gun was driving in a crowd at Tuskegee University when gunfire was seen coming from the car in a shooting that left one dead and dozens wounded, according to court documents.

Jeremiah Williams, 20, was arrested on Thursday and faces a federal charge of possession of a machine gun. Williams was charged after months of investigation unrelated to the shooting at Tuskegee, but court documents related to his arrest place him at the school on the night of the shooting and reveal new details about the chaotic and fatal homecoming party that rocked the small campus in early November.

Jaquez Myrick, 25, was arrested on the night of the shooting, after he was found at the university with a Glock pistol that had a machine gun conversion device. Neither Myrick nor Williams are accused of shooting anyone. It is still unclear who was responsible for the death of 18-year-old La’Tavion Johnson, of Troy, Alabama, who the coroner said was not a student at Tuskegee.
