The Pearl River County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of a New Orleans woman in connection with the murder of Clint Williams, whose body was discovered in Carriere last month.

Deputies responded to a residence on Oscar Smith Road on Oct. 30 after receiving reports of a body. Upon arrival, they found the remains of Williams, a New Orleans resident, who had died from multiple gunshot wounds.

Sheriff’s investigators worked to establish a timeline of events, determining the approximate date and time of the murder. A detailed analysis of the crime scene and evidence led to the identification of Showanda Carter, also of New Orleans, as the primary suspect.

Carter was arrested without incident on Nov. 6 and charged with murder.

Sheriff David Allison commended his team for their efforts in solving the case. “Our deputies, crime scene technicians, and investigators dedicated long hours to bring justice to this victim and his family. I also want to thank the community for their cooperation and assistance,” Allison said.
