Man accused of Addis 7-year-old's murder surrenders to authorities
ADDIS — A 33-year-old man accused of the murder of 7-year-old Paris Williams in Addis on Monday turned himself in to authorities in West Baton Rouge Parish.
Early Monday afternoon, Christopher Butler turned himself over to authorities. He was wanted on two counts of felony domestic abuse battery - child endangerment, as well as second-degree murder.
Williams was found unresponsive at a home along La. 1 South on Wednesday. She was taken to the hospital and later died, with officials saying her death was caused by multiple blunt-force injuries following a physical altercation.
"Ultimately it was a very senseless act, this 7-year-old, should not had passed away from this senseless act. It's a shame, it's very sad," Addis Police Chief Jason Langlois said.
On Friday, Williams' mother, 30-year-old Breyonne Dorsey, was booked for two counts of felony domestic abuse battery-child endangerment, one count of principal to second-degree murder, and one count of obstruction of justice.
Langlois says the investigation remains active, and there are still a lot of things investigators are working to piece together.
"They're going to continue to get everything evidence wise they need. Once everything is sealed up basically, it will be sent to our district attorneys office," Langlois said.
