Slain Prentiss 16-year-old: 'Like any other teenager'

PRENTISS --A local teenager found shot to death Monday had a lifelong dream of becoming a rapper, his family says.
"I wished he had talked about school the way he talked about rap," Jacqueline Williams said about her son Wesley Williams, 16.
"He would always try to explain Eminem lyrics to me. All he wanted to do was rap," she said.
An autopsy indicated Williams died from three to four gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen, Jefferson Davis County Coroner Greg Blackwell said Wednesday night.
The Prentiss High alternative school student's body was found Monday morning on Ed Parkman near Jeff Davis Lake, Blackwell said.
"
He was shot at the scene and rolled over into the ditch," he said. "We didn't find any shell casings, so we think it was a revolver."
His father, Kenneth Williams, said the teenager had talent as a rapper.
"I pushed him because I knew he had what it took to make it," said Kenneth Williams. "His rapping and his lyrics were what really set him apart from the kids. Wherever he would go, he was freestyling."
No arrests have been made, but Jefferson Davis County Sheriff Henry A. McCullum said investigators are working with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation and the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol to question possible witnesses and suspects.
A person of interest was questioned in Hattiesburg on Wednesday afte
rnoon, McCullum said. He would not identify the person.
Williams' parents said he had gotten into trouble at school and moved to the alternative school this year.
"He did well in school, but sometimes he got out of control," Jacqueline Will
iams said. "He wasn't stupid; he just did things the way he wanted to do them. He didn't always follow the rules."
His parents and school officials said Williams boarded the bus and made it to school Monday morning.
It's what happened after he arrived there, about 7:45 a.m., that is unclear.
"He didn't have a uniform on, and they asked him to go home and change, but they didn't call his parents," said Jimmy Maxwell, Wesley Williams' uncle.
Jefferson Davis County Schools Superintendent Wayne Fortenberry said Williams was not sent home.
"This particular student got off the bus at school. He did not report to class or to
the office. We did not send him home," Fortenberry said.
He said the district's policy is to contact parents before releasing students.
"If we cannot reach the parents, we'll put the student on in-school suspension," he said.
Fortenberry said the confusion when hundreds of students arrive at school each morning would be the ideal time for
a student to leave unnoticed.
Kenneth Williams said he thinks his son got mixed up with the wrong crowd because Wesley Williams was hanging around men a decade older than he.
"The kind of people he was hanging around were into drugs," Kenneth Williams said. "And sometimes the people you hang around can get you hurt."
His parents and officials don't believe the murder was drug-motivated.
"He wasn't into drugs," Jacqueline Williams said. "But he talked a lot if people messed with him, and then he would fight. It was probably because of something
he said."
