Patrolman James A. Williams was shot and killed during an arrest.
Patrolman Williams was on patrol when he observed four armed gunmen robbing a citizen in a vacant lot. As Officer Williams attempted to arrest the armed offenders, one of the gunmen fired directly at him. He succumbed to his wounds two days later.
All four suspects were sentenced to life in prison.
