A 25-year-old man who police say went on a "violent crime spree" Sunday (April 23) is accused of second-degree murder in connection to a fatal shooting on Elysian Fields Avenue that New Orleans police were initially investigating as a separate incident.
Charles Williams is now accused in a total of four shootings that left six people injured, including an NOPD officer.
The Orleans Parish Coroner's office identified the man killed in the 2400 block of Elysian Fields Avenue as Lil'Ricky Goins, 38. Goins was shot at an unknown location, according to NOPD Chief Michael Harrison, but crashed on Elysian Fields Avenue while trying to drive away.
Goins collided into a black Lincoln Town Car and two people were injured, but Harrison said both were in stable condition Sunday night. Four other vehicles were involved in the crash, according to one woman whose car was hit, but NOPD spokesman Gary Scheets said none of the other vehicles were suspected to be involved in the shootings.

Williams is also accused of shooting three people on a porch in the 1900 block of St. Roch Avenue and a man who was shot in the face in the 1400 block of North Derbigny Street. According to Harrison, Williams also shot at officers who were investigating the scene on St. Roch Avenue, and one officer suffered from a graze wound.
Police chased Williams through the city, until he crashed the stolen Toyota Corolla he was driving in Mid-City.
The injured officer is in good condition, Harrison said, and the three people shot on the porch were reported in stable condition Sunday night. As of Monday morning, the condition of the man who was shot in the 1400 block of North Derbigny Street was not known.
Police also said Williams is responsible for at least one armed carjacking in the 1700 block of Desire Parkway.
Williams was booked into Orleans Justice Center jail shortly before 5:30 a.m. Monday on one charge of second-degree murder, according to online court records. Court records show he was also booked on 11 driving violations, including hit and run and reckless operation of a motor vehicle.
As of Monday morning, court records do not show charges related to the other shootings or the carjackings.
According to Harrison, Williams began the crime spree after being involved in a "domestic issue." Williams' violent acts started shortly before 4:30 p.m. and ended with his apprehension about 6 p.m.
