George Williams III was shot and killed in Saint-Louis, Missouri, on Friday, April 27, 2018. A father of three and grandfather of four, he was remembered by family as compassionate and willing to help anyone; his son George Williams IV said that trait may have put him at risk.

Originally from Arizona, Williams had asked to be buried beside his mother and grandmother, who are interred there.
