On March 7, 2014, Lewis L. Williams, a 60-year-old White man with dementia, was fatally shot at a residence on 70 Claire Drive SE in Atlanta. An Atlanta police officer had been called to the home that day and, after Williams allegedly confronted the officer while armed with an ax, the officer fired their weapon, killing Williams.

The shooting was reviewed and authorities reported that no charges were filed against the officer involved. The case underscores the tragic and complex nature of confrontations between law enforcement and people experiencing mental health crises.

Did anyone in the area at the time have information about the call or what led up to the confrontation?
