NATCHEZ — The sister of the late Charles Knight says her family may have a guilty plea in her brother’s murder case but they still do not have justice.

Nearly two months after Lavander Williams pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the November 2015 shooting death of Knight, Mary Ann Coleman said her family is still waiting to see what punishment Williams will receive.

“This man who killed my brother has pleaded guilty, but he hasn’t been sentenced,” Coleman said Monday. “(My family) hasn’t gotten justice for my brother.”

When Williams entered the plea on March 20, Sixth District Circuit Court Judge Forrest “Al” Johnson postponed sentencing and ordered a presentence investigation.

Johnson said he wanted to review the evidence in the case, including video surveillance that reportedly shows the victim leaving in a truck with Williams allegedly chasing behind the vehicle carrying an AK-47 assault rifle and firing approximately 13 shots into the vehicle.

Johnson said Monday he wants to see the video, but has had trouble playing the video on a computer. He said he recently enlisted help from the District Attorney’s office, which has been able to acquire the software required to access the video. Johnson said he should be able to review the video shortly.

Just after the shooting, law enforcement officials said Knight and Williams had apparently been involved in a disagreement inside the M&M Grocery shortly before midnight on the night of the incident.

After a physical altercation outside the store, Knight reportedly tried to leave the scene in his vehicle when Williams retrieved a weapon and fired at Knight.

Knight’s vehicle left the store’s parking lot, crossed the roadway and came to a stop in a ditch beside a nearby church.

Knight was later pronounced dead at the scene.

Williams has been allowed to remain out of jail on a $500,000 bond and ordered to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet, to track his whereabouts, Johnson said.

Coleman says her family has endured much grief through the process.

“It has been since Nov. 9, 2015, and this is 2017,” Coleman said. “It has been too long.”

Johnson said once he reviews the facts of the case, background information about Williams and others involved in the incident and reviews the video, he would be able to determine a sentence.

Johnson said he hopes to have a sentence set by his next court term in August or in July when he may preside over some indictments and other court proceedings.

Williams’ sentence is discretionary to the judge and could be between 20 to 40 years in prison, Johnson said.
