Aaron Dontay Williams, 41, was apprehended at about 7:15 a.m. Friday by the United States Marshals Service, with support from the FBI and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
Williams was taken into custody without incident, and 3-year-old Jibreel Harun was located unharmed.
This arrest follows just one day after Auburn police found the bodies of Tyeisha Williams, 34, and Zynnya Wright, 13, during a welfare check at a home on Samantha Court. Investigators suggest that the two were likely killed within 48 hours before being discovered.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Auburn Police Department Investigations Section at 334-501-3140. I’m
