Ralph Williams, now 36, and his 32-year-old brother Tyjuan Williams are charged with the murder of Amber Woods. Her body was found along State Road 62 in Manatee County, February 11, 2006. Her aunt last saw her alive at their home a few hours earlier.
An autopsy found Amber Woods died from a gunshot wound.
From the beginning, detectives say they knew that Ralph Williams wanted to end the relationship. Amber s friends say he believed she was pregnant. which the autopsy showed was not true. They found a text that seemed to show he was concerned about facing criminal charges because Amber was underage. They didn t have enough evidence to build a case. They had cellphone data in their notes but had no way to process all of it.
