Four white people were charged Tuesday in the alleged murder of a Black man whose body was found burning in a ditch in rural Iowa earlier this month, but authorities said it did not appear that he was targeted because of his race
.
The four people charged in Williams' killing are Steven Vogel, 31; his mother, Julia Cox, 55; Roy Garner, 57; and Cody Johnson, 29. Vogel was charged with first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse, according to a criminal complaint filed in Poweshiek district court. Authorities declined to discuss a potential motive, and DeCamp said it wasn’t clear when Williams was killed. He said the last time Williams appears to have talked with anyone was between Sept. 11 and Sept. 13.
Story continuesOn the same day, Vogel allegedly asked Cody Johnson to help him move Williams’ body. Johnson told investigators that he tried to help, but they were unable to move Williams, according to the complaint. Two days later, Vogel asked Johnson for help again, the document says. Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Betty Andrews, president of the Iowa-Nebraska NAACP, said that it was “understandable that having a body of an African American man found burning in a small town in Iowa would raise several red flags and concerns.”
