CENTERTON, Ark. — New details have been released in the arrest of a man accused of murdering his mother in Centerton last week.
On March 29, Kamron Edgar Williams, 20, was arrested by Centerton police and booked into the Benton County Jail for capital murder, residential burglary, and interference with emergency communications. He's being held on a $750,000 bond.
The incident took place on 116 Elm St. The alleged victim has been identified as Kamron's mother, 51-year-old Vicki Williams.
Cpl. Christian Espitia, the public information officer for the Centerton Police Department (CPD), told 5NEWS that a child called 911 around 9 a.m. saying that her brother and mother were in a fight.
Kamron, who was sitting on the front porch when police arrived, was interviewed by CPD after his arrest. He reportedly told police the incident began when his mother threatened to kick him out and call the police during an argument.
"Vicki entered her bedroom from the living room, which enraged Kamron because he thought that he was going to be homeless and that his family did not care about him," the affidavit said.
Kamron followed her into the bedroom, where he allegedly knocked her to the ground, began punching her, and dragged her by the hair to the kitchen.
"Kamron said that he dragged Vicki to the kitchen because he knew there were knives in the kitchen," the affidavit said.
Court documents said that Kamron told police he then grabbed a butcher-style knife and began stabbing his mother.
Afterward, he went outside to sit and wait for the police. The affidavit said police found Vicki with wounds on her right abdominal area, right chest, right arm, and left throat.
"The throat wound was described as Vicki having her neck slashed," The affidavit said. Officers tried to perform life-saving measures, but she died at a nearby hospital.
Kamron's younger sister, who had called the police to report the incident, was interviewed at the Benton County Children's Advocacy Center, according to court documents. She claimed that Kamron stabbed their mother while in the bedroom after Vicki said she was going to call the police.
The girl stated that once in the kitchen, her brother retrieved a larger knife and continued the attack.
The affidavit notes that Kamron was issued a criminal trespass warning for Vicki's residence on Feb. 12, 2024, meaning that he was not allowed to set foot on the property.
Kamron is expected in court on April 15.
