Ex-Cowboys star Erik Williams' son arrested in double murder

The son of ex-Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowler Erik Williams has been arrested for a double murder in a drug deal gone bad in Texas.

Cassius Shakembe Williams, 20, was busted along with another man, Rozman Rah-saan Shannon Jr., in connection with the shooting deaths of two men in Mesquite on June 12, according to TMZ.

Officials believe one of the victims was selling the two men marijuana when shots were fired.

Jacob Hollett, 19, was found in the driver’s seat of a gray Nissan, while Dalton Prater, 18, was shot to death in a nearby pickup truck, the Star-Telegram reported.

Hollett was transported to a local hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Cassius Williams — who played defensive tackle in 2015 at his father’s alma mater, Central State University in Ohio — and Shannon are being held on $1 million bond.

They’re charged with capital murder, the equivalent of first-degree murder, and face the death penalty.

Erik Williams played 11 seasons in the NFL as an offensive tackle — 10 with the Cowboys.

In addition to winning three Super Bowls, he was selected to the Pro Bowl four times and earned two All-Pro First-Team nods. He spent his last year in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens.
