How they died
Deadly force
Police were called about 4:30 a.m. in response to a suicide threat on Bridle Trail Road. Police arriving at the home saw Steven Williams carrying a shotgun while walking away. Police ordered him to drop his gun. Williams reportedly ignored the command and reached nearby Shiray Ranch Road, where he ducked into the backyards of homes. Police confronted him again in a backyard and told him to drop the weapon a second time. When he failed to follow instructions, four Moreno Valley police officers shot and killed him.
