Tationa Williams, 25, Charged in Disappearance and Death of Hayden Blair

Tationa Williams, 25, was identified in court filings as the person charged in connection with the disappearance and death of 23-year-old Hayden Blair in Jackson. The filings, first made public March 4, tie Williams to the case that began when Jackson police were alerted to Blair’s disappearance.

Jackson police first reported Hayden Blair missing on Feb. 17 after his mother contacted authorities, prompting the department to open an investigation. Blair was 23 at the time he was reported missing; the report from his mother triggered the missing-person entry that led to the ensuing criminal filings.

Court documents filed March 4 and in subsequent filings identify Williams as the charged individual. Those filings also reference an event date of March 6, 2026 tied to the case record, reflecting the timeline of recent prosecutorial activity in the matter.

Jackson police handled the initial missing-person report and the related investigative work that produced the filings naming Williams. The department’s involvement began with the Feb. 17 notification from Blair’s mother and continued through the March court activity that publicly connected Williams to both the disappearance and the death.

The case now lives in the court system following the March filings that named Williams; the filings constitute the formal move from missing-person inquiry to criminal charge. Williams is 25 and Blair was 23, details consistently recorded in police and court records connected to this investigation.

Authorities have disclosed the sequence of dates that frames the case: the missing-person report on Feb. 17, the public identification of charges in filings dated March 4, and an event date listed as March 6, 2026. Those concrete entries form the timeline as Jackson police and prosecutors advance the matter through investigative and court procedures.
