Magistrate DeRouen sets huge $10 million bond for murder suspect

Beaumont — Magistrate Marc DeRouen has set bond at $10 million for Larry Fitzgerald Williams in the murder of Brian Lewis. DeRouen set the bond during an arraignment hearing Tuesday morning in jail. He also set conditions if Williams were able to post bond, including that he wear a GPS monitor, have no contact with the victim's family, remain in home confinement except for court appearances, and not be in possession of a firearm. Williams is accused of shooting and killing Lewis while the victim was mowing his lawn Saturday afternoon. He was taken into custody at about 6:45 Monday morning in Houston, and according to the probable cause affidavit obtained by KFDM/Fox 4 for the arrest, police say he targeted Lewis because of a previous aggravated assault case scheduled for trial in July, in which he's accused of viciously beating Lewis, putting him in ICU for months. Williams was taken into custody in Houston by the Jefferson County Sheriffs Office Warrant Division, working in conjunction with the Houston Police Department, on a murder warrant for the shooting death of Brian Lewis, 51. A Beaumont Police Department officer working with the U.S. Marshal's Task Force also took part in the capture. Justice of the Peace Ben Collins Sr. issued a murder warrant for the arrest of Williams, and the judge released the probable cause affidavit for the arrest to KFDM. According to the affidavit, which included a sworn statement from a BPD officer, a suspect rode up on a motorcycle and shot and killed Lewis while Lewis was on a riding lawnmower and cutting the grass of a home on Delaware. The suspect had a revolver, according to an image from the Real-Time Crime Center. He sped away. Police say during the course of the investigation, detectives learned Lewis was the victim of an Aggravated Assault in 2024 and the suspect was Williams. The case was set for trial in July 2025. "Further investigation revealed that Williams had made multiple statements that Lewis needed to drop charges or Williams would kill Lewis," according to the affidavit. "During follow-up investigation, detectives received multiple tips that have been confirmed that Williams owned the distinct Hyabusa motorcycle matching the motorcycle pictured in media releases. Other tips identified the suspect to match the height and weight description of Williams. A witness also observed Williams to be in possession of a revolver a few nights prior to the shooting and was on the motorcycle." Beaumont police released a photo of the suspect they say is Williams on a motorcycle just after the Saturday murder, speeding away from the scene at about 1:45 p.m. and heading west on Delaware Street.
