Man wanted in Ohio in connection with beating toddler to death arrested in Mass.

A man wanted in Ohio in connection with beating a toddler to death was arrested Wednesday in Massachusetts, WCVB reported.

The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force in Massachusetts arrested 25-year-old Dioblis Williams in Framingham on a charge of homicide of a child, the news station reported. He was wanted in connection with the death of a toddler that was found dead in a bathtub in Columbus.

Williams was arrested after Columbus police and Southern Ohio U.S. Marshals determined he was likely in Massachusetts and contacted U.S. Marshals there, WCVB reported. Massachusetts U.S. Marshals then traced his whereabouts to Framingham and took him into custody.

Williams has been charged as a fugitive from justice in Massachusetts, WLWT, a Cincinnati-based TV news station reported. He will be arraigned on the charge in Massachusetts and faces extradition back to Ohio.

“Today’s arrest is a reminder that you can run, but you can’t hide. Mr. Williams thought that he could evade arrest and accountability by hiding in Massachusetts,” acting U.S. Marshal Kevin W. Neal told news outlets. “I hope that today’s arrest brings us one step closer to justice for a young child whose life ended tragically.”

No further information about the case has been released.
