Additionally, the GBI said the two of the five men are murder suspects.

Williams is charged with felony murder and home invasion in connection to a January 2020 incident in Pulaski County and Penix Jr. is charged with a double homicide due to an alleged “drug deal gone wrong” back in 2017.

Authorities have urged the public to contact 911 and not to approach the men as they are considered extremely dangerous.
