Kevin Jolyon Williams, a 28-year-old officer with the Huntsville Police Department in Texas, was shot while responding to a domestic violence call at the Woodcreek Apartment complex on March 9, 1985. As he exited his patrol car he was struck by gunfire from a .22 caliber rifle. He was transported to Hermann Hospital in Houston and died there about 24 hours later on March 10, 1985.

The suspect also fired at two other officers, wounding one; the other officer apprehended the suspect at the scene. The defendant was sentenced to death at the first trial; a second trial reduced the sentence to 40 years. The suspect later died in prison in 2009. Officer Williams had served with the department for just over a year and was survived by his wife and three children.
