During a traffic stop, the officers ordered the then 19-year-old to get out of the car, but he did not comply, police said. The officers then broke Williams’ car window in an attempt to take him into custody.
A struggle ensued, and Williams fired multiple shots, striking both officers, police said. A third officer returned fire and hit Williams.
In August 2025, a jury found Williams guilty of attempted murder, aggravated battery of a peace officer with a firearm, among other charges.
