Centerton man accused of stabbing, killing mother deemed unfit for trial

CENTERTON, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A Centerton man accused of fatally stabbing his mother has been deemed unfit to stand trial, according to court documents.

Kamron Williams, 20, was arrested on March 29 on capital murder, residential burglary, and first-degree interference with emergency communication charges. He pleaded not guilty to those charges on May 2.

Williams’ attorney filed a request for a mental evaluation on August 19 to determine whether he was fit to proceed to the trial. The judge ordered a mental status hearing for September 3.

During the hearing, it was determined Williams was not fit to stand trial, a filing said. An order to seal Williams’ mental evaluation was filed the same day of the hearing.

According to a probable cause affidavit , Kamron told police in an interview following the stabbing that he told his mom he refused to take his younger sister to school and began having a panic attack.

He said Vicki Williams, his mother, left the residence and returned shortly, where he wanted to confront his mother about taking his sister to school.

Kamron told police he was upset because he thought Vicki took much longer to come home than necessary. He said he thought his mother was sitting outside in her vehicle avoiding him.

He told police when Vicki entered the home, Kamron confronted her, and the two began to argue, first in the kitchen and then in the living room.

Kamron told police Vicki said that she was tired of Kamron and wanted him to leave. Vicki continued expressing her disgust with Kamron and told him that she would call the police, according to the document.

She left the room and Kamron got angry because he thought that he was going to be homeless and that his family did not care about him.

Kamron followed Vicki into her bedroom where they continued the argument. He told police Vicki pointed her hand in Kamron’s face and he then slapped it away.

He told police Vicki then fell and that he thought he punched her, according to the affidavit. Kamron said he grabbed Vicki by her head and hair and took her to the kitchen because he knew there were knives there.

Kamron said he grabbed a large butcher-style knife and began stabbing Vicki. He said he then went outside to wait for police to arrive.

Once they arrived, he told officers he attacked Vicki.

CPD found Vicki with wounds on her right abdominal area, right chest, right arm and left throat. The affidavit said her throat was described as being slashed. Vicki was taken to the hospital where she later died.

Williams is being held in the Benton County Detention Center on a $750,000 bond. A second mental status hearing has been set for December 2.
