December 9, 2025

William Powell

By KAREN VELIE

Morro Bay police officers assisted the U.S. Marshals Service in apprehending a murder suspect in Morro Bay on Monday afternoon. William Powell had been on the run since 2022.

Powell is suspected of killing Ciara Bullock in New Orleans on March 19, 2022. Following the murder, Powell allegedly fled to Mississippi, before he vanished.

On Dec. 8, U.S. Marshals found Powell living in Morro Bay on the 300 block of Mindoro Street.

After a standoff, U.S. Marshals arrested Powell, 43, and booked him in the San Luis Obispo County Jail. He awaits extradition back to Louisiana to face the charges against him.

Your smart running to California. California is the right place for criminals . You need to plead to the Liberal Judge . That you will be put to death if returned to  Louisiana . Because you are a Africa / American . Your in the driver seat right now & everybody will bend over backward to help you in California . Stay strong brother . It’s not your fault . The White Colonel System has failed you . You are the victim .

Great teamwork! It’s encouraging to hear that Morro Bay P.D. wasn’t restricted from cooperating with a federal law enforcement agency by some pathetic, ignorant and seditionist local “Sanctuary City” ordinance or city council declaration.
