Yesterday Mario Williams, suspected for stabbing his brother last month, turned himself into Ypsilanti Police with his lawyer.
Ypsilanti Police Chief Matt Harshberger said authorities have been trying to work a deal out with Williams for some time, and have expected him to turn up a couple times before. Yesterday Williams made good and turned up.
Williams, 23, is suspected of stabbing his 19-year-old brother in the chest with a kitchen knife on Oct. 18 at Forrest Knoll apartments in the city of Ypsilanti. Williams' brother later died as a result of his injuries at St. Joseph's Hospital.
Responding officers spotted Williams fleeing the scene on foot and dispatched a K-9 unit to find him. The search came up with nothing and Williams was at large until yesterday.
Williams is an Ypsilanti Township resident and his brother lived in Detroit.
