A Florida man was seen smiling as he was arrested by police Friday for allegedly murdering an autistic teenager.

Geremy Doel Navarro, 20, is accused of murdering Ferron Williams, a 19-year-old with autism on Jan. 27, 2022. The incident happened across the street from a Hardee’s restaurant, according to FOX 35.

Navarro is being charged with first-degree murder.

Jeff Walczak, a spokesman for the Ocala Police Department, said at the time, “We know that the young man was on the porch using the WiFi of a local restaurant and that’s when a shooter came and shot him from the roadway.”
