ORIGINAL - 9/20/26: 
The Green Bay Police Department (GBPD) is searching for an Ashwaubenon man with a known violent history who fled a traffic stop on the city’s east side on Sunday, September 20, 2026, prompting a large police presence.

Police are looking for Jayveionn Williams, 20, of Ashwaubenon. Williams is wanted on numerous warrants, including Child Abuse Causing Great Bodily Harm.

At approximately 2:15 p.m., officers located a vehicle being driven by Williams. When officers attempted a traffic stop, Williams fled, leading to a brief pursuit. The chase ended near University Avenue and Henry Street after Williams’ vehicle struck a curb and became disabled. Williams then fled on foot.

Due to the situation and Williams’ history, GBPD requested assistance from Brown County Emergency Management to issue a temporary shelter-in-place order for those in the immediate area. The order was lifted around 4:00 p.m. However, Williams’ whereabouts remain unknown.

Williams is described as a Black male, approximately 5'10" tall and 190 pounds. He has short black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, black sweatpants, and no shoes.

The public is urged not to approach Williams, as he is considered dangerous.

This remains an active investigation, and no additional information will be released at this time.

Anyone with information related to this case or may know the suspect’s whereabouts is encouraged to call Green Bay Police at (920) 448-3200 and reference case #26-246666. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at (920) 432-STOP (7867). You may also submit a tip online at www.432stop.com, or utilize the "P3 Tips" app.
