4th arrest made in murder of retired firefighter in Morgan Park carjackingon January 1, 2021 at 7:40 pm

The fourth and final suspect has been arrested in the murder of retired firefighter Dwain Williams, who was killed in a Far South Side botched carjacking in early December.

Chicago Police Supt. David Brown announced Friday that the suspect was arrested by the FBI in Pennsylvania on a separate warrant.

“Great work by CPD detectives and federal law enforcement,” Brown said on Twitter.

The suspect, whose name wasn’t released, was held on a $2 million murder warrant, Brown said. Officials were seeking his extradition to Chicago.

A police spokesman was unable to provide additional details.

Two teenagers and a 20-year-old man are already charged in the deadly Dec. 3 shooting outside the Let’s Get Poppin’ popcorn store at 11758 S. Western Ave. in Morgan Park.

Prosecutors have said the last suspect sought by police was the second gunman, a juvenile.

The suspects were part of a “carjacking crew” believed to be responsible for other crimes in the area, police have said.

Williams, a 65-year-old concealed-carry holder, was shot in the abdomen after he exchanged gunfire with his alleged attackers.

Williams retired from the fire department two years ago, officials said. He was about to return to work as a civilian employee at the Office of Emergency Management and Communications.
