Mr. Williams was one of the lads that robbed me at gun point two years ago on Christmas Eve. I was walking home from the bars, cut up and alley behind the Sip & Bite and Mr. Williams along with another upstanding lad and they stuck a gun in my chest -- served only 8 months in jail! Maybe Mr. Sanders would be ok had Mr. Williams been behind bars.
I just wish that Mr. Williams had been behind bars before Cecil died. His death caused his daughter alot of pain. She is one of my best friends.
Cecil was my brothers best friend from belair rd area.i miss him dearly as well.
