Henrico teen enters guilty pleas in Bremer killing
A 16-year-old Henrico boy Monday entered guilty pleas in a murder that shocked the region and nation in early 2021.
In Henrico Circuit Court, Dylan A. Williams admitted to firing the nine shots that killed 13-year-old Quioccasin Middle School student Lucia Bremer in the Gayton Forest West neighborhood near Godwin High School on the afternoon of March 26, 2021. In addition to that first-degree murder charge, Williams also entered a guilty plea in the attempted murder of Bremer’s friend, who was walking with her at the time of the shooting.
