Police arrested two Paris men Saturday morning on capital murder charges in connection with a homicide early Friday in west Paris.

Adrianandious Lajuan Blackeyes, 21, of Paris, and Tyriekus Drashon Edwards, 18, of Paris, were arrested without incident at residences in Paris, police chief Bob Hundley said.

The body of Roland Dekeith Williams, 28, of 1421 W. Cherry and formerly of 951 Van Zandt St., was found about 4:30 a.m. Friday near the intersection of West Austin Street and Southwest 19^th Street after police received a report of gunshots in the vicinity.

Williams had been shot several times.

More arrests are possible, the chief indicated.

“Investigators are still working on identification of others who were involved in what appears to have been an attempted robbery,” Hundley said.

The 5-foot-4, 138-pound Blackeyes and the 5-10, 225-pound Edwards remained in the city jail awaiting arraignment, the police chief said.

Both Blackeyes and Edwards have recent arrests:

• Blackeyes was confined in the Lamar County Jail from March 15 to April 22 in connection with a January charge of theft of property (over $50, less than $500) and criminal trespass. He spent five days in county jail in November for driving without a license, and was in jail for two months in early 2011 on charges of 1) engaging in organized criminal activity, 2) burglary of a vehicle, 3) unlawful carrying a weapon, and 4) theft of a firearm.
• Edwards was in the Lamar County Jail from March 15 to April 10 for a January charge of possession of marijuana (less than two ounces). He was in jail from June 7, 2012 to July 5, 2012, in connection with May 2012 charges of criminal mischief (more than $50, less than $500) and possession of marijuana (less than two ounces).

A 28-year-old Paris man was shot and killed around 4:30 a.m. Frisday in west Paris.

Police chief Bob Hundley said police officers responding to a report of gunshots arrived to find the body of Roland Dekeith Williams off the 1800 block of West Austin Street, near southwest 19^th Street.

Williams’ address was listed as 1421 W. Cherry. According to state driver’s license records, Williams previously lived at 951 Van Zandt St.

Several witnesses came forward with information involving the incident.

“Officers have learned that three suspects wearing some type of facial covering had entered a residence which faces 19th Southwest, in an apparent robbery attempt,” Hundley said.

According to police, the location where his body was found was originally identified incorrectly as the 1800 block of W. Kaufman. The location was actually a block farther to the south — off the 1800 block of W. Austin.

“The body has been taken to the metroplex area for examination as to cause of death,” stated Hundley. “Investigation is continuing and there is no other information available at this time.  If there is update in the case, information will be released Saturday morning.”

Check back with the Extra! on Saturday for updates on the case.
