Arius Williams, the father of missing toddler Montrell Williams, is now facing serious criminal charges after the tragic discovery of the child’s body.

During the search for the missing boy, investigators located a body in a river in the Bronx. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner later identified the remains as those of Montrell Williams.

Court and correctional records show that on June 11, the 20-year-old father was officially charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree.
