In a statement, Carr called the violence in Dougherty County “absolutely unacceptable.”
“We’re going after those responsible,” Carr said. “If you’re engaged in gang activity and putting families and children at risk, we will find you, arrest you, and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.”
Albany Police Chief Michael Persley said Williams’ death was a “tragic and senseless loss.”
Authorities say the Inglewood Family Gangster Bloods originated in Inglewood, California, and has several subsets, including the “80’s,” which detectives say is common in Albany.
The investigation remains ongoing, and additional arrests are possible. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers or the Albany Police Department.
