Suspect arraigned in Pennsauken killing

Bail was set at $750,000 this morning for the man charged with killing 16-year-old Sherita Williams and leaving her body under a railroad bridge on the Camden-Pennsauken border in 2003.

Judge Thomas Brown set the bail during a short arraignment in Superior Court in Camden.

Warren Dixon, 23, faces a murder charge for allegedly suffocating Williams.

Dixon was uncooperative in court today, refusing to stand up during the proceeding, Eventually, a court officer hoisted him to his feet.

Dixon and Williams were classmates at Pennsauken High School. Authorities have not offered any possible motive and they have not said how the investigation came to focus on Dixon.

Williams's mother last saw her daughter on Nov. 28, 2003, the day after Williams left home to have her eyebrows done and meet her best friend at a bus stop. The girls never met up with each other, however, and Wilma Williams reported her daughter missing at around noon.

She found Sherita's body about two hours later while she was searching the area.
