How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Williams's sister called authorities after he refused to leave her property. After they stopped arguing, she let Williams into her residence. Officers who responded tackled Williams. According to a lawsuit filed by the Williams family, Williams did not resist. Four officers shot Williams with multiple jolts from stun guns. The officers did not try to revive Williams, who stopped breathing before paramedics arrived.
