Carnell “Nay Nay” Lanair Williams

How they died

Deadly force

Members of the Statewide Urban Violence Cooperative Crime Control Task Force on a "gun-running" stakeout reportedly approached a car in which Williams was a passenger. Police state that driver Kiara Davis and/or Williams pointed guns at them in an attempt to escape. Four officers including Det. Christopher Barona, who had killed Bryan Stukes 04/13, opened fire, shooting possibly more than 40 rounds into the car. Williams was hit "numerous times" and Davis was wounded in the face. The estate of Carnell "Nay Nay" Williams, which had accused the police department of excessive force and violating Williams' civil rights, will be paid $45,000.
