WARREN -- A fugitive wanted in the brutal beating of a mother and her 18-month-old child in Warren last month has been apprehended in another state.
United States Marshal Service announced Wednesday that it caught Tyrell Williams, 26, who will be returned to Trumbull County following an extradition hearing in Dolton, Illinois, where he reportedly was captured with drugs on him.
The events leading up to his arrest were not disclosed, but according to the prosecutors office, Williams will face child endangerment and domestic violence charges.
A police report states that officers spoke with the mother at a home in the 1800 block of Sixth Street in July 2023, but the alleged assault captured on video took place at a home on West Market Street in Warren Township.
The mother said Williams had come to the residence to break up with her but alleges he began punching her after she told him to "get your stuff and leave." Police noted in their report that the child had visible markings on the right side of the face along with a slightly bloody lip.
The child's grandmother handed over additional footage depicting the assault on mother and child.
Footage shows Williams repeatedly punching and kicking the child, at times striking the child directly in the face and kicking him across the room, police said.
He then turns toward the mother, slapping and punching her as she attempted to take cover on the couch. At one point, Williams body slammed the mother while the child was being held by her, police said.
The police report states that officers saw two large contusions on her forehead, swelling on her eyes and nose, and a small cut on the nose.
Williams is the brother of Kashaun Robin Williams, 29, of Warren, who has been in county jail since April 2023 for charges related to the April 2 shooting death of James Chapman, 34, who was found dead at a Lener Avenue SW address. A second victim, Marina Lee Moore, 23, of Warren, also was found with gunshot wounds, taken to a hospital and later recovered.
