Bessemer police said officers made a traffic stop at the intersection of 16th Street and 7th Avenue North. When police approached the other, the driver fled at a high rate of speed. Police caught up to the Honda at the intersection of 9th Avenue and 19th Street North, as a Ford SUV crashed into the fleeing car. Stacie Williams, who was a passenger in the back seat, was thrown from the other. She was killed on impact. The second female passenger, Amanda Lynn Hill Pigg, 37, died a short time later. Courtland Dion Griffin, 38, was charged with two counts of felony murder. Pigg and Williams were passengers in Griffin's car
This record exists so that Stacie Carroll Williams, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
