Jacob Williamson, an 18-year-old transgender man, was found dead on July 4 near the side of a road in Pageland, about seven miles from where authorities believe he was killed. The incident unfolded after Williamson left his home to meet a man with whom he had been corresponding for a month and a half, with the intention of having his first date at an amusement park.
Following the discovery of Williamson’s body, authorities in Union County, North Carolina, and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation took swift action and arrested two suspects in connection with the young man’s death. Joshua Newton, 25, faces charges of first-degree murder and obstruction of justice, while his girlfriend, Victoria Smith, 22, has been charged with obstruction of justice and concealment.
Williamson had met Newton at a local Waffle House before heading to Carowinds Amusement Park. However, Newton allegedly deviated from his plans and took Williamson back to his home in the trailer park in Monroe, North Carolina, where the tragedy unfolded. The motive and manner of Williamson’s murder remain unclear, as Newton did not provide a clear explanation to police.
