In the New Jersey case, Latham is facing charges of first-degree aggravated manslaughter in connection with the homicide of William “Timmy” Durham Sr., also of Thornhill Road, the prosecutor said.
In the Lee County incident, which happened shortly after 11 p.m. Saturday, a motorist waved down a trooper saying he was a victim of an assault. The motorist claimed another driver confronted him and brandished a firearm on Meridian Center Parkway near Southwest International Airport.
Troopers found the vehicle in question, a Nissan Infinity, being driven by Latham and stopped the car.
Troopers found a black, airsoft BB gun (resembling a real firearm — similar to an AK-47 in appearance) and placed Latham under arrest for felony aggravated assault. Latham was also charged with a second count of aggravated assault for attempting to intentionally ram the victim’s vehicle.
