How they died
Deadly force
Late in the morning police responded to a disturbance at a grocery store. They found Williams, unarmed, at first simply uncooperative then physically struggling with the officer, forcing him into the storefront window and grabbing at his gun hand. The officer managed to fire one shot into Williams' stomach before his gun jammed. His death attracted a large outraged crowd.
