Nashville, TN – A convicted sex offender has been arrested and charged with attempted murder and robbery following a violent attack on a woman walking home from a concert in downtown Nashville.
According to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, fingerprint evidence analyzed by the MNPD Crime Laboratory led officers to identify Joequarius Williams, 29, as the suspect. Police said Williams allegedly followed a 25-year-old woman to her apartment building after she left a Bridgestone Arena concert on the night of November 5, before attacking her.
Authorities confirmed that Williams is charged with attempted murder and robbery. Investigators linked him to the crime through fingerprint evidence collected at the scene.
Williams has a prior criminal history, including a 2019 conviction for aggravated assault and attempted forcible rape involving a 27-year-old woman at a Glastonbury Road apartment complex. Following that conviction, he was sentenced to probation and added to Tennessee’s sex offender registry.
Police continue to investigate whether Williams may be connected to any other unsolved cases in the area.
