Suspect arrested in fatal shooting of 16-year-old Montgomery boy

A teenage suspect was arrested Thursday and charged with murder in the fatal Wednesday night shooting of a 16-year-old boy from Montgomery.

Mose Abram, 18, of Millbrook, was charged with murder and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle in connection with the slaying of 16-year-old Maurio D. Williams, Millbrook police told WSFA. Two other juvenile victims were treated for minor injuries.

Abram was being held in the Elmore County Jail without bail and pending warrants being obtained and served.

A car traveling on Highway 14 in Millbrook was struck by gunfire that came from another vehicle, Millbrook Police Chief P.K. Johnson told the station.

The vehicle that was struck stopped at a shopping center, where police found three people inside.

Williams was pronounced dead at the scene.

Two others in the vehicle were treated at the scene, including one whose eye was injured from shattered glass and later taken to Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery.

Johnson said the incident appeared to occur after a dispute between two groups.
