Ronnie,

You were a good man, husband, father, and cop, taken far too early, on this day 20 years ago. I did not know you but feel as though I did. Rest in peace.

I did not know Officer Williams, but like others saw his story on ID. I just want his family to know that his sacrifice will not be forgotten. I am thankful for his service and for the service of all those who risk their lives every day to protect us, the public.

I didn't know officer Ronnie Williams myself. I remember this story like it happened yesterday, my son was born in 1995 and I couldn't stop thinking of his wife Mary and his boys. I don't understand how evil someone could be to take these lives of 3 beautiful people. I hope Antoinette Frank and Roger L death warrants are upheld they should have been gone ling ago. Prayers to both families..

I just saw the program on tv. I'm just so very very sorry. I can't believe evil like this lives and breaths. They both are cowards. I will say prayers for your family that the pain leaves and wonderful memories can be held close.

I worked with Ronnie over a summer at Lake Forest Exxon. He use to come in there a lot during high school to fill up his car before school. I remember when he left to enter the academy I thought he was joking because he was too nice for such a rough job. He came by to show me his uniform and I couldn't believe it , he really became an officer. Came by the gas station many of times just to say hi to his ole workers. We were all proud of him. The day we learned of his death was truely one of the saddest days of our lives. He was a great worker an awesome person and a friend to everyone he met. Still saddens my heart till this day....

I was a classmate of Ronnies in the 7th and 8th grade at Lake Castle in New Orleans. 1995 was a particularly tragic year as I also lost a high school classmate to murder. It seemed our innocence was lost, we were no longer protected in our safe cocoon. Ronnie`s death touched me, he was so young. I always liked him in school, he was kind to me, something others found hard to do to the new girl in the class. I think of his wife and kids, now grown, how sad to grow up alone. I am glad I found this site to express my thoughts. I never thought I would know how it feels to lose classmates. I hope his family is doing well. GIna Jaquillard Speerly, Madisonville, LA

Just watched an episode of your brutal murder on ID Discovery. You were a true hero Officer Williams. Rest in peace. I hope your so called partner, got her punishment along with the low life who she was supposed to be rehabilitating.

I was in the middle of my law enforcement career when I heard this tragic story. As a police officer, now retired, I fully understand how much we depend on our partner. When a cop goes dirty people get hurt. I remember the outrage I felt on that sad day in 1995. I get angry even now as I write this. It's hard enough to worry about the bad guys on the other side of the badge let alone the ones wearing a badge. Even now I think how senseless it all was. I have to stop now. I'm to sad to go on. Rest In Peace Officer Ronald Williams! May Justice be carried out soon on those who took you from us. My prayers are with your family, your children wherever they may be.

I remember your story well, and if it was not for a crooked cop, you would still be with us today and 42 years old. I am truly sorry that you had to come in contact with that animal who killed you, when you were suppose to have her watching your back. Rest in peace brother, you have not been forgotten. A waste of a young man's life at the hands of a fellow officer.

My sympathy to the Williams family. I just finsished watching Investigation Discovery's program detailing the events of Ronnie's death. How horrific. There is a special place in hell for some people, and his killers certainly qualify.

Dear Ronnie, I just finished watching an stroy about u on ID and as I was watching it I became so upset, bc how can someone be so cold hearted to kill a cop especaially when u were a great cop. You will never be forgotten even though I was just a child myself when your life was taken. I believe those that do wrong and horrible things in this world will be judged not only by a jury of our peers but by the most powerful person in this world and that is God himself only he can give you the your judgement day. You are in heaven as one of his angels and you are very blessed. Its too bad you didnt get to see your two boys grow up but I know you have always been there standing next to them everyday keeping them safe bc being a protector was your calling in life. May you rest in peace. Your family must be very proud of u RIP Officer Ronald A. Williams II AKA Ronnie. :)

I also learned of your death watching several documentaries about your story. I also read the book and became consumed with your life and death. Your killers still sit on death row today....totally claiming their innocence. You will never be forgotten. RIP Officer. Job well done.

As a former member of the Seventh District, let me assure you that your presence was felt in that district everyday. You are greatly missed by those who knew you. While we never met, those who spoke of you always spoke from a very deep place in their hearts. Rest In Peace brother, we all wait for a long delayed day of justice.
