Her hair was styled in two round ponytails, a look she was known for.

Nakita is described as a Black female, standing 4 feet 11 inches tall and weighing approximately 145 pounds. She has brown eyes and black hair. Her loved ones have shared that she has several tattoos, including the names "Donna" and "Clara" on her upper arms and "Mrs. Murda" above her chest. She also has a mole under her right eye and a piercing on her lower lip that had been removed. Authorities have noted that Williams is known to frequent areas around Scheerer Avenue near Hunterdon Street and the 500 block of Elizabeth Avenue in Newark.
