Williams, called “Smallie”, is currently on death row for killing 12 persons during the 2008 Bartica, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) Massacre. He was convicted of murder over the fatal shooting Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Corporal, Ivor Williams on January 23, 2008.
Ivor Williams, 24, was shot dead after he and other GDF ranks were shot at by gunmen while carrying out a military operation at Buxton, East Coast Demerara (ECD).

In 2017, Mark Williams was among the high-profile prisoners who escaped after a fire gutted the Camp Street Prison in Georgetown. He was, however, apprehended weeks later by Police ranks while he was on a public minibus on the Weldaad Public Road, West Coast Berbice.
