Today, the Vance County Sheriff’s Office located and arrested John Williams without incident on outstanding warrants from their office, along with outstanding warrants from the Henderson Police Department.
On Friday, September 25, 2020, officers of the Henderson Police Department responded to the 200 block of Chavasse Avenue after receiving a call of a person being shot. When they arrived, they located Tracey L. Person (51) suffering from a single gunshot wound to the upper torso.
Person was transported to an area medical facility for treatment of her injuries.
She and a male friend had been walking in the area when a dark-colored vehicle pulled alongside them and an occupant fired a weapon. As a result of HPD’s investigation, it is believed the male walking with Person was the intended target of the assault.
Through the assistance of the public, the shooter was identified as John Williams, age 37, of Vance County.
Williams was on pre-trial release for a homicide that occurred in Vance County.
Williams is now in the Vance County Jail without bond due to these charges and his previous pretrial release conditions.
