The Metropolitan Police Department’s (MPD) Criminal Investigations Division is seeking the public’s help locating a suspect in a traffic fatality. 

At approximately 12:27 a.m. on Sept. 17, 2017, a Dodge pickup truck was traveling westbound on Good Hope Road, SE. At the same time, a Honda Accord was traveling eastbound. The Dodge truck crossed into the eastbound lane and struck the Honda head-on, causing the vehicle to travel several feet. The passenger of the Honda was pronounced dead on the scene. 

The decedent was identified as 43-year-old Talata Williams.

The operator of the Honda and both the passenger and operator of the Dodge were transported to an area hospital. 

On Oct. 3, 41-year-old Terica Younger was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Younger pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and aggravated assault.

The MPD is seeking the public’s help to locate Younger after she failed to appear for sentencing in this case.
