Devonte Deshawn Williams, 28, was arrested in Waycross, Georgia, after he was involved in a shooting incident where he fired at a vehicle carrying a two-year-old child. Officers from the Waycross Police Department witnessed Williams, wearing a ski mask, shooting at the SUV and pursued him in an unmarked vehicle, leading to an exchange of gunfire before Williams escaped into nearby woods. Despite a search using K-9 units, Williams initially evaded capture but was later found at his home, where he was taken into custody after being treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Williams faces multiple felony charges, including aggravated assault against law enforcement officers, cruelty to children, and possession of firearms by a convicted felon.
