A warrant for Williams charges with him with two counts of murder in the deaths of 26-year-old Alycesson Archer-Williams and 31-year-old Dean Samuels.

Police say on Dec. 15, Samuels was found shot in the head in a Hartford apartment. Archer-Williams was found outside the apartment after being shot several times in the torso.
