SUMMARY: James Williams III, a Mississippi man who served nearly two decades for the 2002 murders of his father and stepmother, died in a car crash in Rankin County. The accident on Highway 18 involved Williams’ 2009 Honda Civic and a 2019 GMC Sierra, resulting in his death at the scene. The other vehicle’s occupants, Curtis and Ruth Jones, were hospitalized. Williams, who faced life sentences for the murders, was paroled in 2023 after the U.S. Supreme Court deemed life sentences for minors unconstitutional. He was later reincarcerated for a DUI before his death. Further details about his passing remain unclear.
