William’s cause of death has not been determined. He had joined the Cairo Police back in 2020.
The Cairo Police Department made a memorial post for Williams, stating that Williams “quickly gained the respect and love of all that met him.”
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has reportedly begun to investigate his death, and the circumstances that led to William’s collapse.
At just 23 year old, Williams had already chosen to serve his community. Losing the best members of our society so young is truly a tragedy.
