At Rest

Deadly force
Off-duty Detroit officer Patricia Catherine "Katie" Ryan Williams was fatally shot by her estranged husband, off-duty Detroit homicide detective Ed Williams, after he convinced her to meet with him in a library parking lot adjacent to the Canton police department around 9:15 a.m. He then shot and killed himself. There were reportedly indications Ed Williams was suicidal and a number of domestic violence complaints reported by Katie Ryan Williams before the murder-suicide.
This record exists so that Patricia Catherine “Katie” Ryan Williams, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
