Police say stepdaughter, 12, killed aspiring rapper

A 12-year-old northwest Atlanta girl stabbed her stepfather early Friday as
he fought with her mother, police said. He later died.
The girl, who is the mother of a 5-month-old, got involved in the argument
after her stepfather, Randal Williams, accidentally hit the baby, Williams'
mother said.
Police said Williams, 28, was stabbed in the shoulder and the arm and ran
from the home, on Mayson Turner Road between Marie and Flowers streets in
northwest Atlanta. Police would not say what kind of knife was used.
No charges have been filed in the death, and police and the Fulton County
District Attorney's Office continue to investigate.
Although Williams and Trinderlyn Snow Williams, 30, had been married only
since Aug. 10, they had lived together about three years and had an
explosive relationship, according to family members. Trinderlyn and her
daughter moved into the house shortly before the wedding.
Williams, who used the stage name "2000," was an aspiring rapper scrapping
for a break in the music business. The stabbing occurred shortly after he
returned home from a gig at which he and his wife had argued.
Williams' mother, Chris Williams, said she got a call from her son's wife
about 4 a.m. "Trin called me to say her girl stabbed my son. They were
fighting and he accidentally hit the baby and the [12-year-old] stabbed
him."
Police responded to the home about 3:30 a.m. after getting a hang-up 911
call but Williams was not there. About a half-hour later, Williams returned
home but had lost too much blood for paramedics to save him.
"I'm sure he panicked" when he left the home, said his mother. "And then he
realized that this was serious and he went back because it was his house."
Friends and Williams' family members said he and his wife started arguing at
the Club Ritz on Old National Highway, where his group, Pimpalinium, was
performing.
Witnesses at the club said Williams and her husband got into an argument and
that she left about an hour before her husband.
It wasn't their first fight, family members said.
"This was a volatile relationship," said Williams' mother. She claimed her
son was stabbed in the hand during a fight with his wife last year.
She said there was no police report of the stabbing because her son was
wanted on a warrant, so he used Roderick, his brother's name, when he went
to Grady Memorial Hospital.
Randal Williams was in violation of probation for a cocaine possession
conviction in March of last year in Fulton County. He had failed to report
to his parole officer, and a warrant was issued for his arrest in August
2001. He also used his brother's name when he was arrested during a domestic
disturbance in September 2001, Williams' mother said. An Atlanta police
report says officers responded to a domestic disturbance call and found
Trinderlyn -- then his girlfriend -- with a bruised eye and bloody nose.
Police charged Williams with battery.
Trinderlyn Williams has a criminal record of two drug and two fraud
convictions and an arrest for obstruction of a law enforcement officer.
There is an outstanding warrant for her arrest for probation violations.
Williams' mother said her son had been interested in singing since he was a
boy and worked full time on his music career. His group released one CD and
had another coming out next month.
"His main focus was looking for a break," she said, adding that he was
getting older in a young man's business. "But he thought it would come."
