Shooting
Aftermath
On June 11, 2017, Williams and Paula McEwen, were shot following a pursuit that began at about 7:40 p.m. local time after Williams failed to obey a traffic sign in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
He was driving an Audi SUV and heading north on N. Lincoln Memorial Drive near E. Water Tower Road.
A deputy in a sheriff's vehicle attempted to stop the Audi because of a traffic infraction.
Video posted on Facebook shows Williams did not stop and drove the SUV onto the median.
Deputy Michael Truax, who was assigned to foot duty on the lakefront that day, was on the median and fired into the Audi several times. It is unclear from the video if the SUV was traveling directly toward the deputy.
After Deputy Truax fired into the Audi, the vehicle swerved back onto the road and struck another car before stopping.
Deputies surrounded the vehicle, ordering people out at gunpoint gunpoint. Williams suffered a gunshot wound to his head, and was transported to Froedtert Hospital.
Death
On June 13, 2017, Williams was pronounced dead at Froedtert Hospital, where he had been on life support.
An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday June 14, 2017.
