A Florida man has been arrested on suspicion of committing a second-degree murder, just one day after he was released from jail over fears the CCP virus could spread in correctional facilities, authorities said on April 14.

Tampa-based Joseph Edwards Williams, 26, was arrested on Monday on charges of second-degree murder in connection with a homicide last month, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. He also faces charges of violently resisting an officer, gun possession, drug possession, and paraphernalia possession.
