On May 4, 1995, 47-year-old Patrolman Leroy Tank Williams was serving a warrant in Tallulah, Louisiana, when the subject fled after Williams announced his presence. A friend of the wanted man intervened to stop Williams from pursuing; that friend then shot Williams in the chest. The wound was fatal and Williams died in the line of duty.

The shooter was later apprehended and convicted of Patrolman Williams’s murder. Williams was survived by his wife and two daughters.
