AUBURN, AL — The Auburn Police Department is urgently searching for Aaron Dontay Williams, 41, in connection with a double homicide and the abduction of his 4-year-old son, Jibreel Harun. Authorities believe the young child is in imminent danger, prompting the issuance of a statewide Amber Alert.
The tragic and violent incident unfolded recently, leaving two individuals dead and a community gripped by shock, fear, and deep concern for the safety of young Jibreel. Investigators have identified Aaron Williams as the primary suspect in the double homicide, and now fear he may be fleeing with the child in an effort to avoid capture.
According to officials, Aaron Williams is described as a Black male, 41 years old, with a medium skin complexion, standing 6 feet 1 inch tall, and weighing approximately 240 pounds. Authorities warn that he is armed and dangerous, and should not be approached under any circumstances.
Jibreel Harun, the child at the center of this harrowing alert, is described as a Black male, 4 years old, with a slender build. He is believed to be traveling with Williams, although no vehicle information has been confirmed at this time.
“This is an active and extremely dangerous situation,” said a spokesperson for the Auburn Police Department. “Our priority is the safe recovery of Jibreel Harun and the swift apprehension of Aaron Williams. We are asking for the community’s help while urging everyone to remain cautious.”
Authorities are imploring anyone with information about the suspect’s whereabouts or sightings of Jibreel to immediately contact the Auburn Police Department at (334) 501-7313 or dial 911. Do not attempt to confront or detain Williams, as he may react violently and is considered a grave threat to public safety.
This terrifying ordeal has not only left a family grieving the loss of loved ones, but has also plunged an entire community into fear and uncertainty as the search intensifies.
Local, state, and federal agencies have joined the investigation and are working around the clock to track the suspect. Alerts have been issued across neighboring states as well, and authorities remain hopeful that public awareness will play a key role in bringing Jibreel home safely.
Residents are urged to remain vigilant, check their security cameras, and report anything suspicious — no matter how small it may seem. Time is critical in cases involving abductions, especially when linked to violent crime.
As we collectively hope for the safe return of Jibreel Harun, the Auburn community is asked to unite in spreading awareness and keeping eyes open. Please share verified information across social media, keep your neighborhoods alert, and support the ongoing investigation in any way possible.
Let us stand together in this time of urgency — for Jibreel, for justice, and for the safety of all.
