A woman was arrested
and charged on Nov. 18
for the brazen murder of
a Crown Heights mother
in August.
Police arrested Claudia
Williams, 42, of Allenwood,
Georgia earlier
this week and charged
her with murder and
criminal possession of a
weapon in relation to the
shocking killing of Delia
Johnson this summer.
Williams was arrested
in Jacksonville,
Florida and moved to
New York, where she
was silent as detectives
walked her out of the 77th
Precinct stationhouse on
Friday, Nov. 19.
Police say Williams
shot Johnson executionstyle
from the back on
Franklin Avenue between
Prospect Place
and Park Place on the
evening of Aug. 4.
The incident was
caught on a chilling
video from a nearby security
camera, which
shows a woman with
long blonde hair and
a heavy build calmly
walking up to Johnson
while she chats with people
gathered on the stoop
of an apartment building,
and shooting her
several times in the head
and torso. The suspect,
who cops now believe to
be Williams, is then seen
slowly walking toward a
white car and fl eeing.
The gunshots sent the
crowd of people gathered
on the sidewalk fl eeing
for their lives.
Johnson’s family
members told the Daily
News they believed the
suspect followed Johnson
from a funeral in the
neighborhood she had attended
earlier in the day,
and that they suspected
the murderer was jealous
of Johnson’s success
as an entrepreneur.
Williams was arraigned
on Friday morning
in Brooklyn Supreme
Court, where she entered
a plea of not guilty. She
was ordered held without
bail and will return
to court in January. She
faces up to 25 years to
life in prison on the top
charge.
